@Rena1898 @alicekeeler We do tickets and a monthly store but I like your idea of something weekly. Did a check in with students and was surprised by how many mentioned they needed motivation. Thanks!

[Mary Delac @mcdelac22]

@Rena1898 @alicekeeler What school incentives work the best at your school?

[Mary Delac @mcdelac22]

@AdrienneBranden Our schools uses Class Dojo for communication only. We communicate with parents, post announcements, positive photos of what students are doing. Class Dojo is free, user friendly and translates into other languages. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

@V_Spadoni @PrincipalPick Those comments only bother you because they are the farthest thing from your heart. Although hard, ignore those hecklers on the sideline. Keep putting kids first, be yourself. You will sleep good at night.

@PrincipalPick I always give a dress down pass in my card. Out of curiosity, do you put anything in the card?

[Mary Delac @mcdelac22]

@PrincipalPick I’m will be stealing this idea. Thanks for sharing!

[Mary Delac @mcdelac22]

@PrincipalPick This is a beautiful idea!

@XenocratesWerth @jmattmiller What I’m finding as an admin is that while I believe in restorative practices it takes a lot of time. Let’s keep encouraging each other so it does not become lip service. Be patient as staffs transition.
