You are appreciated …
At the beginning of each year, we celebrate each other with an appreciation activity for teachers. This year, to coincide with our Disney theme, we brought in a local artist to assist the teachers in creating a Mickey Mouse beach scene. The relaxing Jimmy Buffett music along with the laughs of camaraderie were a great beginning to our new year. As a bonus, teachers have their portraits displayed in their classrooms to remind them of this time of fun and fellowship.

First Day Extravaganza
The first day of school is always a fun time for students and teachers alike. We celebrate success from the previous year with an award rally recognizing individual students for their achievements. Extra activities are planned for the students to introduce our Renaissance theme. This year included a photo booth, bounce house, and even Blizzard Beach cool off station where students were able to enjoy snowballs provided by PTO.

Renaissance/PBIS
The entire Pass Christian School District has adopted the Jostens Renaissance philosophy of recognizing and rewarding students. Although DeLisle Elementary School was meeting success with Renaissance, we felt that something was missing. This piece was found through PBIS after some teachers attended a workshop in January of 2012. After a visit to a local model school, we learned that, with a few minor changes, we could achieve this status as well. Although every “staffulty” member contributes to the success of PBIS, a committee has been established to tie up loose ends and monitor data to ensure school-wide success.

Minor vs. Major Infractions
This is our first year to implement major and minor behaviors. These behaviors were discussed at our beginning of the year teacher orientation. Teachers were given the opportunity to assist in the decision making process regarding which behaviors were classified as major and which as minor. A minor infraction slip was created to assist teachers in documenting minor behaviors and tracking the reteaching process. If a student receives four minor infractions within four weeks for the same behavior, an office discipline referral is issued. This implementation has taken the “gray” out of what should be a black and white process.

Behavior expectations are taught and modeled
• Explanation – review what class rules should be• Demonstration – role play in the classroom• Skits – done with counselor through library or
music• Posters – students create posters to display
around the school• Reminders – review rules periodically; especially
after holiday breaks• Lesson Plans – include PBIS discussion in lesson

Developing a Reinforcement System
A committee of teachers is dedicated to rewards and recognition. A reinforcement system has been developed and is reviewed and tweaked as necessary. The following reinforcements are used throughout the year for students:-Caught Being Good celebrations-HAT Parties-Student of the Month (Character Education/Kiwanis) -Bus of the Month-Academic Rallies recognizing honor roll, perfect attendance, Accelerated Reader goals, 100’s Club, ABC Club, Sight Word Club, and Raise the Bar (a recognition given to students that have increased in academics, but have not yet met honor roll status)
The following reinforcements are used throughout the year for teachers:-Staffulty of the Month (Hats Off to You)-Duty Free Lunches/Yum Yum Potluck-Monthly birthday celebrations-Coupon Book-Jean passes
Where Dreams Begin
Caught Being Good
A hallway reward has been implemented to recognize students for “Caught Being Good”. Each hallway has a bulletin board to display the caught being good cards. When the board is full (75 cards), the entire hallway receives a reward. The trait changes after each reward is earned – for example: these pictures reflect caught being respectful. When that board was complete, the theme changed to caught being responsible. This process also helps support our Character Education program. Where Dreams Begin
HAT Parties
Hat Parties are held randomly throughout the year. The principal, assistant principal and counselor visit classrooms searching for 100%
of Homework completion, all students in Attendance,
and no Tardies. When all requirements are met, the entire class receives a prize from the treasure box.
Where Dreams Begin
Student of the Month
Students are chosen by their homeroom teacher based on the character trait for the month. Students receive a certificate, dog tag with the monthly character trait, and a free ice cream pass. Students are celebrated and rewarded in the cafeteria among their peers.
Where Dreams Begin
Bus of the Month
According to our data, the afternoon bus route had a significant amount of bus referrals. We initiated our “Bus of the Month” program to reward the bus that had 0 discipline referrals for the month. Students receive a pizza party with their bus driver and the driver receives a gift certificate to a local business. The best part about being recognized as “Bus of the Month” is the magnet that is displayed for all to see!

Caught Being Good on the BUS
Students may be Rewarded for being good on the Bus. They receive a Certificate from their busDriver, a treat from theOffice treasure box, andRecognition over theMorning or afternoonAnnouncements.
Academic Rallies
A summer planning session is held to plan out our quarterly academic rallies.Topics of discussion are the theme of each rally, games that will be played, tangible rewards that will be distributed for each achievement, decorations, and any new ways to reward teachers and students.
Our first academic rally for this year was a “Pirate and Princess” theme. Students participated in games such as Walk the Plank, and Crown the Princess as they were rewarded for various achievements. The second nine week rally will be an “All Star Sports” theme. Students and teachers will dress in their sports attire as we kick off a new semester of learning.
Academic rallies are always a huge success with students and parents alike. It is a great way to invite parents to the school to celebrate student (and teacher)success. A student survey is conducted and rewards are given to students based on survey data.
Where Dreams Begin
The Fast Pass is an honor roll reward that was developed by student feedback. Students can use their pass for things such as lunch with a pal, sit in the teacher’s chair, activity swap, homework pass, hat day, extra recess, etc.

Wonderful Wednesdays
Where Dreams Begin
Each Wednesday, we recognize students for one of the three A’s (academics, attendance or attitude). Students receive rewards such as treasure box treats, outside lunch, extra recess, etc. Eating lunch outside is always a big hit with our students. This is also the day that we wear our spirit shirts.
NFL Day
Where Dreams Begin
To kick off football season, and a new school year, students are involved in our annual NFL day. Activity teachers work together to create a football themed game zone during their 45 minute activity block. Teachers enjoy a special treat of tailgating type foods while they enjoy a duty free lunch. It is a fun day enjoyed by all.
Staffulty of the Month
Staffulty members are recognized by coworkers
through the use of “Hats Off to You” cards. Staff members can
write a friendly note to a coworker thanking them or
recognizing them for something. “Hats Off” cards are read at
monthly faculty meetings. One card is chosen each month to serve as the Staffulty of the
Month. This teacher receives a gift certificate and the coveted reserved parking space in the
front of the school.
Where Dreams Begin
Staffulty of the YearChosen by fellow faculty members,
the Staffulty of the Year recognition is a great honor.
Toward the end of the year, we allow each teacher to nominate
one coworker by writing a statement declaring the reason why a certain person should be
chosen. The person with the most votes receives $500 to spend on classroom supplies, a year long parking space, along with the
acknowledgement of being named “Staffulty of the Year”. This past
year, a first year teacher was recognized for her outstanding efforts and achievements she made with her self contained
students.

Kindergarten Mardi Gras Parade
Where Dreams Begin
Another community wide event is our Kindergarten Mardi Gras parade. The Friday before Mardi Gras break, kindergarten students conduct a parade with home-made floats. Excitement fills the front of the school as students, teachers and community members join together to celebrate the season.
Talent Showcase
DeLisle truly does have Talent!Each spring, students in grades 3-5 host a talent showcase where individual talents are celebrated and recognized. Students perform acts from dancing and singing to playing the piano or violin. The community is invited to attend the evening show. Students in the lower grades look forward to the opportunity to showcase their talent and begin their planning as early as kindergarten.
Where Dreams Begin
Finale Rally
Our end of the year rally takes months to plan and is always an event not to be missed. Going along with the theme for the school year, our rally showcases grade level performances as well as recognizes students for year long achievements. The event is always well attended by parents and stakeholders alike. This year, we raffled off front row seats during the silent auction portion of our fall festival. It’s always a great celebration to end a successful year.
