Positive Behavior Programs

Students earn RAH tickets by reading at home for pleasure and enjoyment. These are turned in and make students eligible for weekly drawings. Lucky students win free books of their choice to reward their good reading habits.

Students earn Good Citizen Tickets by performing random acts of community service such as picking up litter, helping in the lunch room, being a good friend, helping someone in need, etc. Students may drop these tickets off in the front office to earn bookmarks, pens, and certificates.

Once a month students from grades 1 through 6 are selected by the classroom teacher to enjoy lunch with our principal. Students are selected based on their fantastic effort in class and on the playground.

Students participate in Dragons with Dignity by demonstrating the character skill of the month. Character skills include but are not limited to attributes such as generosity, perseverance, compassion, etc. Each month, teachers select particular students for the Braggin’ Dragon awards based on the character skill for that month. Students earn certificates and tokens of appreciation.

Developmental assets are positive relationships, opportunities, values and skills that young people need to become caring and responsible. Millbrook School is committed to helping our children in developing these assets. Through our partnership with Project Cornerstone, students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of class and school wide service projects. In addition to our commitment to students, we are making a commitment of the families of our community. We would like our community to become knowledgeable about developmental assets and ways to build them in our youth. Workshops and opportunities for parents to participate in the program will be made available.

This is a National Drug Awareness & Prevention Program supported by Millbrook through age appropriate activities and assemblies that encourage students to lead healthy, happy, and drug-free lives. Drug free messages are reinforced throughout the week via themed spirit days, a poster contest (with prizes) and special readings by the teachers. We encourage you to take this opportunity to discuss the topic with your kids as well.
