Fact Masters Program: For each grade level, students must meet certain criteria in regards to basic math operations on timed assessments. Fact Masters receive a T-shirt and are recognized on the announcements by Mr. Null.

Positive Behavior Incentive System: Students can earn a quarterly reward by qualifying in two of three areas:

1. Behavior - receive no more than 3 detentions &/or loss of recess to walk and -0- office referrals

2. Attendance - have no more than 3 absences not excused by a doctor. Every 3rd tardy counts as an absence.
