since we already told the parents and kids that we were not doing HR, will we have upset people if we now say that we are?

why are we switching from our original plan of no honor roll?  Are we doing what is best for kids or appeasing parents?

No, it doesn't align with SBR.

If a student has met their academic goals and the growth they set out to make, they should be honored for their efforts. Perhaps there should be a different acknowledgement.

We think Honor roll undermines the purpose of SBR. The purpose is better communication and honor roll is for reward and recognition. We still feel kids need to be recognized. We see team awards becoming a larger part of the end of school.

-Some grades do not show up (because there is no mode), so how would we address that?
-Since we were informed we were not doing this at the beginning of the year, the kids are already under the impression this is not happening.

Honor Roll could be used as a way to appease frustrated family and community members who are resisting the switch to SBR. Ultimately, the goal would be to phase it out once SBR was more established and better understood by everyone.

We think that striving for honor roll will cause undue stress, anxiety and perfectionism for students.

# data[].attributes.body
We should not do Honor Roll to appease parents or students.  We do what is best for kids.  Rather than honor roll...
-Monthly recognition of students who exhibit excellent classroom work  (or show growth in class) and CHARACTER or SERVICE
-Partner with PTO or community to have small rewards for these recognition
--get the newspaper involved to feature monthly leaders
-Partnership with WITT to have students honored on the radio

Are grades a reward for hard work or are they a communication for what our students know? When we started this process, we said grades should communicate what the students know. If we keep honor roll we should also allow extra credit!

-recognize athletes who excelled during the year
-recognize the arts and music departments
-continue to recognize and honor the writing awards, math counts, etc- the academics that go beyond the school day
-perhaps show the winners from the ZMS movie night
-shift to character awards and perhaps get student input

more questions than answers.....
is changing HR a battle we want to fight?

# data[].attributes.body
We don't think we need to have an honor roll

# data[].attributes.body
We do not feel as if there is a need to do the honor roll if the reason is to make the public happy.  If there is not a fundamental reason for us to do honor roll, then we shouldn't be doing it. A lot of students and parents have already been told that we are not doing honor roll.

- We are a mixed group. Some say yes to HR-some say no. We want to acknowledge our friends who strive to do their best, but also our friends who grow so much but never achieve that 4/A or 3/B.

Could we somehow acknowledge our friends who grow or who exhibit those CCR in an exceptional manner?

# data[].attributes.body
We do not think we should have the honor roll. We think it takes away the focus from/lessens the importance of the learning process .

# data[].attributes.body
We are improvement focused, not grade focused. Do not rank the children.

-We should not have honor roll, as it would seem to negate us going to SBR.

-We see value in honoring/rewarding students for their hard work - is honor roll the best way to do that.
-Student of the month (for each team/department) to honor students for their hard work/character/improvement. We can publish this list every month
-Bring the Eagle Eye award back. "Caught in the Act" award for the classroom
-"Bug" award - Bring up Grades for improvement
-Engage and Persist award
