How to Qualify for an Incentive

Incentive Academic Advisory (AA)

Freshman – Cannot receive Incentive for AA. However, Freshman grades will impact Incentive for Sophomore year.
Sophomores – must have 3.75 GPA
Juniors – must have 3.5 GPA
Seniors – must have 3.25 GPA

Factors affecting Incentive:
GPA (see above)
No Ds, Fs
No Major discipline (½ ALE (3 or more consecutive in-school suspension periods, Out of School Suspension, Admin discretion)
No more than 8 tardies
No more than 2 Class cut
No more than 3 unexcused days or 9 total absences
No more than 1 failure to sign out via door 10 sign out process
No more than 2 U-UT’s (code for late arrival)
No Unauthorized leaving school (No parent consent form on file)

*After the first quarter, additional increments of 4 tardies, 2 cuts, 3 unexcused days, 2 U-UTs will remove the next quarter’s opportunity or perhaps the year.

Example: Student has incentive first quarter and amasses 9 tardies in the 1st quarter, then the student would lose the opportunity for 2nd quarter Incentive. If during the 2nd quarter the student gains an additional 4 tardies (9 + 3 = 12) then the student would lose the opportunity for 3rd quarter Incentive. Conversely, a student with 8 + 3 would still receive an opportunity for 3rd quarter Incentive. Exclusionary increments after the above threshold is met are as follows: +4 tardies, +2 class cuts, +3 unexcused days, +2 U-UT’s, an additional Unauthorized leaving.

*Students who are doing the right thing have nothing to lose. Some mistakes are built into the system. Students with excessive behaviors will need to alter their behavior if they would like to enjoy the freedoms of an Incentive program (in-cen-tive = a thing that motivates or encourages one to do something)

*Any behavior taking away incentive will be reflected in the NEXT quarter’s Incentive opportunity. For example, 9 tardies, 3 class cuts, or 3 U-UT’s in the first quarter will remove the opportunity for 2nd quarter Incentive.
