2. Positive Referrals
3. Lion Loot

Classroom Recognition

All staff members at Madison believe that it is important to recognize and reward students in a variety of ways. At staff meetings and in informal gatherings ideas are regularly shared on how to best maximize our efforts that stress the positive qualities in students. Doing so reinforces good behavior and effort as well as making the job of teaching exciting and rewarding. Teachers should outline their expectations and students should make it a point to find out what each teacher expects of his or her class and cooperate in helping to achieve those goals.

Madison Positive Referral

These awards are given to students for positive accomplishments, both in and out of the classrooms. Students who receive these awards are scheduled to meet with a school administrator and are recognized further by a certificate and acknowledgment in the school newsletter.

Lion Loot

Lion Loot is a component of the Positive Behavior System (PBS). Lion Loot is an acknowledgement given to student when they are caught following the rules. This Lion Loot is collectted by staff and turned into the office for a weekly drawing, where the lucky students drawn can win a variety of fun prizes.
