Briarwood will continue to use Bear Tickets as our Tier 1 incentive program! Please hand out Bear Tickets when you see a student following the expectations. This reinforces positive behavior for following the expectations of Briarwood. Teachers keep track of the Bear Tickets submitted by your students on your Bear-o-meter. Fill in a line for each ticket received. Please let me know when your Bear-o-meter is full and you will receive a Bear Paw! Please see below for the Bear Paw structured system.

Bear Tracking System

· 0-4 Bear Paws- 35 Bear Tickets = A Bear Paw (A bronze paw will be rewarded on the 5th paw)

· 5-9 Bear Paws- 40 Bear Tickets= A Bear Paw (A silver paw will be rewarded on the 10th paw)

· 10-14 Bear Paws- 45 Bear Tickets= A Bear Paw (A gold paw will be rewarded on the 15th paw)

· 15-19 Bear Paws- 50 Bear Tickets= A Bear Paw (A rainbow paw will be rewarded on the 20th paw)

You will be the champions that lift up our students and community. You inspire and change the future. I know you may be working beyond your capacity right now, but remember you are exactly what your students need, no matter where you are and how you are delivering support. You are AMAZING!
