DU Incentive Program: DU Reward Coins
The overall goal of this incentive program is to reinforce students for their appropriate behavior and to find ways to reward them with DU Reward Coins on a daily basis. All teachers will have DU Reward Coins to give to students, and all students have an opportunity to earn it. Students are responsible for their own coins. If coins are lost, they will not be replaced. Students will collect/save DU Reward Coins as they will be able to exchange them for some type of reward throughout the year from DU Store. Opportunities to exchange DU Reward Coins for rewards will be available at DU Store on a bi-weekly basis (every other Thursday) starting September 20,

If you have never looked at each subject's tab on the website, I would highly recommend it. I always have information there which will help your child with quizzes. After each lesson in Science and Social Studies, the class usually takes a quiz. This is not listed on the homework chart. I do review in class before these quizzes. To help your child even more, if you review the specific information listed on the website, he/she should be fully prepared for any and all quizzes.
Blue Friday folders come home each Friday with all tests and quizzes in them. Please review these items with your child, sign each one, and return them in the folder on Monday. Thank you.
