Maple Avenue reports rewards program participation and first‑quarter honor roll totals
Summary
Maple Avenue Middle School described a six‑week rewards program for students who maintain A–C grades and limited unexcused absences; presenters reported qualification counts and honor‑roll totals (213 on blue, 64 on gold for first quarter).
A middle‑school staff member described a recurring six‑week rewards program at Maple Avenue designed to recognize students who maintain A, B or C grades and meet attendance and behavior thresholds.
The presenter said students can be disqualified for a D or F, unexcused absences, suspensions or multiple after‑school detentions (one or two lunch detentions may be permitted). Qualifying students on the recent reward day could choose activities including open gym, a movie, craft projects or cafeteria bingo; the presenter noted a local organization provided a bingo machine and high‑school volunteers assisted.
The presenter reported the number of students who did not qualify by grade level: 21 sixth‑graders, 46 seventh‑graders and 42 eighth‑graders, and said discipline accounted for only a portion of those non‑qualifications. The presenter also announced first‑quarter honor‑roll totals at Maple Avenue: 213 students on the blue honor roll (GPA roughly 3.0–3.89) and 64 on the gold honor roll (3.9+).
Why it matters: The rewards program and public honor‑roll announcement serve as positive reinforcement tools the school uses to encourage attendance, classroom behavior and steady grades. Staff framed the program as part of a broader set of student supports.
There were no formal votes related to the rewards program recorded in the transcript.
