Welcome to Badger Country

 

Classroom Bonus Points

All students in Ms. McGill's classes are eligible to earn "Bonus Points." You must keep up with your points...I will not replace lost/washed....points.

Badger Points: I will have a form with Badgers written each day of the week for each of my classes. Minor classroom infractions will cause the class to have a letter from Badgers taken away. Five (5) points will be given to each student for each letter left. If the entire word is left the points double (this would be 70 daily). If they keep all letters for the entire week that total will double (70 x 5 =350, 350 x 2 =700). B's awarded by the teachers are honored in the store for the following amounts: Black = 100, Orange = 50, White = 25. All points/B's must have the student's name and a teacher's name. If I do not recognize the teacher's writing, I will verify the award before allowing the points to be spent.
Random Points: Points may be earned for games, errands, other activities as determined by Ms. McGill.

PTO Attendance Point: Parent/Guardian (500), Grandparent (250), Student (250 when appropriate).

Parent/Teacher Conference Day: Parent attendance (1000), Phone/Email (500), Return signed note declining conference (100)

Study Island: Students receiving "Blue Ribbon" for all areas of a subject area by the state mandated test day will receive 1000 points for that subject. Those completing all subjects for their level will receive a bonus 1000.

Criterion ETS: 4 Paper on First Submission...must be verified by English Teacher (500)

Purchasing Power

500 Points:
1) Homework Pass (teacher discretion, not all homework assignments are allowable
2) Shortened Assignment (Do odds or evens, or teacher designated)
3) Get out of jail free! (no referral for a tardy)
250 Points:
1) Restroom pass, it will still count as one of your passes in your student planner.
2) Hall Pass to retrieve homework, it will still count as one of your passes in your student planner.
Points will also "buy" items in Ms. McGill's store. A student may only spend points with their name, no borrowing from a friend. You must earn what you spend. If you leave the item in my room, it will become my property again to resell. Purchasing is not a right to break school rules. Put your purchase away and do your work.
Group Purchasing Power

1000 Points per student buys one class reward to be determined by the teacher. It is left to the discretion of the teacher to share what the reward will be

25 Points per student buys 5 minutes of free time at the end of the period.

Notes: You must keep up with your points...I will not replace lost/washed....points.

You can always attempt to barter my prices in the store/reward(s). Sometimes I will budge and sometimes I will not, it never hurts to ask for a discount.

Any points left over at the end of the year can be given to Ms. McGill for safe keeping until next school year. Points from any teacher remaining on staff will be honored.
