Here at CSA New Tech, we excel at fostering a healthy culture among our students. This year, we have introduced House Gems in place of House Points as the main scoring system for House. These offer a tangible reward that students can obtain for participating in House activities, incentivising students to actively participate. One such House activity is the End of Quarter House Games, where students from each house compete in different fun activities to earn House Gems for their house.

Alongside House changes, our PBIS system has also undergone a makeover. While gems have largely replaced PBIS points, students can now receive a physical PBIS ticket, which can be entered into our golden raffle machine to win a prize at the end of every week. Alternatively, students can save their points and enter them in our exciting end-of-year drawings to win awesome prizes. Lastly, students can also spend their points at the PBIS Store for school supplies, snacks, and fidgets!

Big-time Signature Shoutout to our CSA students this past weekend! More than 30 amazing CSA New Tech students volunteered their time to help with the Mill Race Marathon Fun Run last Friday!! Jen Morrill shared the following shoutout:

"These students were incredibly helpful, but even more importantly, they were having FUN together! They were building into the culture of our school, burning energy, laughing, making memories, and simply enjoying being together!

I believe the younger kids notice the older students. They're watching them serve, lead, and have fun while doing it. That kind of example leaves an impact."

Today's Signature Shoutout goes to Ms. Erin Erickson, Special Education Teaching Assistant!

Miss Erickson is very supportive of all of our students at CSA. She works with students to make sure they understand assignments, helps them break big assignments into smaller steps, reviews missing assignments, and is a go-to adult for many students. She helps identify assignments that students need extra support in doing and figures out the best way to do that.

"Her idea of using the gems for the house competitions has elevated the culture in my school. The kids get really excited trying to obtain one. It has been a great motivation for my kids and has helped me with behaviors in my classroom."
