Hello CSP Families!

As you may know, CSP is a PBIS school. This means that we aim to support student behavior through positive interactions and interventions. As part of our PBIS practice, teachers and staff members reward students with Tiger Tickets when they act in ways that demonstrate Tiger PRIDE.

At the end of every week, we conduct a lunch time raffle with these tickets and students choose a reward. Additionally, we count how many Tiger Tickets each student receives each week. At the end of the quarter, the students who earn the most Tiger Tickets are also rewarded with various prizes.

At the mid-year point, we are finding we need to refresh our rewards. Recently, we asked students to share their suggestions for PBIS rewards. Using their suggestions, we have compiled an PBIS Amazon WishList. Please consider contributing to CSP and PBIS by purchasing items from the list.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/SKZX13GL3VZA?ref_=wl_share

Below is a wishlist for prom decor. If you are able to help out please take a look at some of the items requested below. The Amazon wish list should be easy as items will come directly to the school. If you would like to order the succulents or violets please email me first so we don't double up on that. It would also be best to have the flowers shipped to you and brought up to the school in case they arrive on a day that school is out. Thank you so much for your support over the years!
