Positive Behavior Initiative

Here at Spring Creek, we pride ourselves on being proactive rather than reactive. We encourage student positive behavior through incentives instead of a more punitive method.

In order to achieve this all students are sorted into 1 of 4 houses. Throughout the week as teachers and staff catch students in the act of being a good student and person, the student earns a token. They then get to add this token to their house jar.

At the end of the week all of the tokens earned are counted, and the house with the most tokens wins for the week. Token counts take place on Thursday. That Friday students of the winning house are rewarded with a dress down day.

At the end of the month, we total all of the tokens from the previous weeks to determine which house has the most tokens. Once a month we have a "house celebration day." On this day, the students find out what house won for the month, and the winning house gets to participate in a special surprise. We have had a video game truck, a magic show, bouncy houses, and more! Students in the other houses do team building games and have an afternoon of fun while the winning house enjoys their special time.
