Buzz Weeks During Buzz Weeks, entire classrooms can be buzzed by any faculty or staff member for demonstrating the school rules as a group. Classrooms that meet their goal during Buzz Week receive a reward!

Busy Bodies • Busy Bodies is a Tier 1 reward for 1 st and 2 nd grade classrooms. • Two students per classroom will be able to participate in the exercise group each week as a reward for following school rules.

Good Bee-havior Behive Two BEE-HAVIOR tickets will be given to randomly selected employees to give out to students following school rules. These students get to sign their name in the good bee-havior book, have their name displayed in the good bee-havior behive, and get to wear the special good bee-havior bee antenna for the day. Good bee-havior students will also have the chance to receive additional prizes and recognition including a good bee-havior bash.
