Our kindergarteners are very excited about their Dojo
Monsters and the points they are earning in school. We hope they have
been sharing it with you. Some of them may have already come home
with a certificate for reaching 20 points!
Starting Monday, September 28, the kindergarten team will be
sending home a Dojo Point Tracker in your child’s daily folder. This will
show your child’s cumulative points as of the end of the day. Remember,
at 20 points, your child’s points are reset to 0, so if he/she has 19 one day,
it is possible for them to have 2 points the next. You can use this tracker to talk to your child about his/her
behavior at school. Ask your child how he/she earned points and praise
them for following our school rules.
There are also certain circumstances where students may lose
a point (for behaviors that require immediate consequences). However,
these students may earn that point back later in the same day. Keep
in mind, too, that you will receive a call or note from the teacher if there is
a behavior concern for your child.
We are pleased with the student response we have gotten
towards Class Dojo. We hope this tracker allows you to continue the
conversation about the 6 Pillars of Character at home, too – Respect,
Responsibility, Caring, Trustworthiness, Fairness and Citizenship.
