campus+recognition

This page discusses the different ways we will positively promote our students and organizations. Campus recognition allows parents, community members and the district of our student’s successes.

Publicity
It is the expectation that all coaches and sponsors write a of their student’s successes 24 hours after an event and send/post to:
 * Forney Messenger
 * School Fusion Page
 * Front Office for [[file:Announcement Form.doc|Announcements]]

WMS Facebook
The campus has a Facebook page that parents, students & teachers will have access to. The purpose of the page will be to post positive happenings that occur at WMS. The expectations and procedures for post are as follows:
 * No personal student information should be posted at anytime
 * All post should be positive
 * No instant messaging between teacher and student
 * Example Post:
 * Today my 4th period class was amazing, they were positive and truly made my day.
 * Today I witnessed a student hold open the door for another student without being asked.
 * Today the girls defeated Lancaster, so proud of them and all the hard work they have done.
 * Today another teacher brought me a Starbucks for just being me. Thank you Ms. Prado.

<span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">At the end of each year students will be recognized for academic achievement, attendance and individual teacher awards. Academic and attendance will be determined through student grades for the 1st – 5th six weeks and attendance will be based on student’s attendance. Certificates will be printed for A honor roll, A/B honor roll and perfect attendance. The reports for these awards will be done by the campus registrar.

<span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Teacher Awards will be at the discretion of each individual teacher. Each teacher will chose one student, for all their students taught. This is based on your evaluation throughout the year. You will call the parent of the award recipient at least one week prior to awards ceremony. <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Examples: <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Teacher A English 7 One student chosen <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Teacher B English 7 / 8 One student from each grade level = Two students will be chosen <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Teacher C Mixed grade electives One student from each grade level = Two students will be chosen

<span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Each teacher will complete the and turn into the campus counselor on the designated day. The form will need to be turned into the counselor, no emails please. Once all awards are printed by the counselor teachers will sign.
