The school posts Student Honor Rolls with the names of students who achieved excellence in academics. There is a school-wide list posted in front of the cafeteria. There are grade-level specific lists posted in a designated spot in their respective grade-level halls. Students who show leadership and/or achievement are announced for their endeavors on the intercom during afternoon announcements. Examples include those students who made Honor Roll, the First Lego League teammates, students who made growth on the STAR reports, and students achieving top school ranking in Ticket to Read. The school implements a PBIS positive reinforcement system to recognize growth in behavior as well as academic goals. This includes incentives such as Panther Paws (in the classroom) and Panther Eyes (throughout the school environment) in which students can choose rewards in a Panther Store based upon earned incentives. A school PBIS group meets monthly to discuss successes and be responsive to needs. School-wide, every student has goal-setting and reflection meetings on a regular basis with their teacher. Together, students and teachers work together to set a personalized goal in the classroom, track their progress, and reflect upon progress made towards those goals. Goals can be academic, social, personal, or school-related. Every student has set a growth goal based upon his/her results on STAR Reading assessments. Students take the STAR every other week and track their results in on a data sheet. Tutoring is provided for students during our afterschool program. Students were chosen based on STAR data and teacher recommendation. These students were chosen to strengthen reading and math skills. Snacks and dinner are provided for these students. A dental initiative is implemented to screen students on site as well as transport students when necessary to a partnering dental office for follow-up treatment. This is done in collaboration with Elgin Children’s Foundation. SQUAD meetings are held once a month to facilitate collaboration between the Community Schools program and
