STAR


S.T.A.R. 
Student Teacher Appreciation Recognition
 
What is it?
  • A celebration of student, support staff and teacher success with monthly rewards.
  • Provides students with a major self-esteem boost and support staff and teachers with recognition. 
  • Gives parents and the community the opportunity to see that we value student success and support staff/teacher excellence.
  • STAR recognitions are intended to publicly acknowledge those students who exceed building-wide expectations on a regular basis. The PBIS team has found that students appreciate being recognized, and students who are not normally acknowledged academically are shown appreciation for what they do as an LHS community member. STAR is also special in so much as it recognizes those teachers and staff who exceed the expectations set for them
