Alder Falcons RISE!!!!

Alder Falcons believe that success will be achieved when we promote a positive school climate and a safe, effective learning environment. We have 4 school wide expectations we want all students to follow in all settings:

Responsibility Integrity Safety Excellence

 

RISE At Alder Middle School, Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports are being used as a comprehensive approach that uses discipline to teach rather than punish. This approach promotes positive student behavior while preventing negative behaviors, ensuring that students thrive in school. Some of the positive approaches to discipline used are: Acknowledging appropriate behavior, implementing a school-wide multi-tiered behavioral framework, RISE Points, restorative Justice, Community Building Circles, Harm and Conflict Circles, Restorative Questioning, and Monthly Behavioral expectations lessons

How are students acknowledged?

To acknowledge our students who are meeting the school expectations (Responsibility, Integrity, Safety and Excellence) staff members distribute points to students. Students are awarded points in the classroom, before and after school, during lunchtime, and during passing periods.

How do RISE Points work?

When students receive a point, they can use these points to “Redeem” an item from the RISE Store. The more points a student accumulates, the more opportunities they will have to receive RISE incentives, RISE store will be on line and pick up will be every Wednesday after school.

What can my student Redeem?

• School supplies: Pencils, Pens, Erasers, Markers, Highlighters, etc.

• Prizes: UNO Card game, Lego Sets, Art Kits, Wireless Mouse, Guitar, Bluetooth Speaker, etc.

• RISE shirt and much more!

There will also be monthly incentive days.

Tier II and Tier III supports

Alder Middle School is committed to providing our students with a rigorous academic program. All students are exposed to our Common Core State Standards-aligned curriculum as well as a myriad of daily supports. We do understand that some students will need additional supports to assist them in achieving high academic standards. For this reason, we have established several programs to support students; these additional supports fall under the umbrella of Tier II and Tier III programs.

The additional supports will be in the form of small group meetings, one-on-one meetings with school personnel, and/or daily/weekly check-in/check-out monitoring. Once again, these systems are intended to ensure that students are meeting high academic standards.
