Pillar Points Behavior Management System

Has your child mentioned our Green and Red Pillar Points?  “Pillar Points” is a school-wide behavior management plan that recognizes children for excellent behavior and for demonstrating acts of kindness, or to inform children they broke a school rule that has impacted another child’s or children’s learning/rights.  Below is a description of each pillar.  Please discuss this system and the school rules with your child/ren.

Our staff members have access to both green and red pillar point coupons.  The distribution of pillar coupons is based on six overall school rules which are directly tied to the 6 pillars of character.  There are two different types of pillar points, one for positive displays of character (green) and one for negative displays (red).  Points can be given at any time of the day by faculty and staff.

GREEN Pillar Points

Similar to an On-the-Spot award, students are given a green pillar coupon to recognize them for going above and beyond in demonstrating the pillars of character. Staff members give these directly to the students, who are then responsible for putting them into the appropriate grade box in the office.  Each week a drawing will occur for Grades K-2 and for Grades 3-5.  Grade level winners receive a prize from a prize box and recognition on the loudspeaker (or another reward, certificate, etc.).

RED Pillar Points

These coupons are given to students when a student’s behavior impacts the rights or learning of others.  These cards are put into the teacher’s mailbox, or given directly to the teacher. Homeroom teachers will take action as their behavior management plan calls for (i.e. moving your card to yellow/red, getting a red x in your plan book).  If a student accumulates more than 2 red cards in one day, or 3 in one week, a referral will be made to the office.
