We are about to kick-off our Na Koa Reward Card program. A letter is being sent home to acquaint our new families to the program and explain the changes to our returning families. The Nä Koa Reward Card Program is a school-wide effort to reinforce student behavior expectations based on the 3 values of Hö `ihi (respectful), Kuleana (responsible) and Palekana (safe). This year, the reward card program is focusing on being respectful, in an effort to build pilina (relationships) among students. Therefore, the grade level expectation of past years will now be replaced by having students demonstrate respectful behaviors. Please review the 3 criteria listed below:
1. Student must attend school every day and be on time (no penalty for excused absences).
2. Student cannot be written up for Level 1, 2, 3 or 4 discipline (see handbook p. 29). This also includes no dress code violations (see handbook p. 21).
3. Student must demonstrate respectful behaviors as indicated on the Nā Koa Respect Rubric.
