R.C. Waters top Class Dojo Winners
        R.C. Waters Elementary participates in a schoolwide initiative called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS).
        PBIS includes adoption of a unified set of expectations for behavior, helping to create a safe and productive learning environment. These expectations, in place in every classroom and non-classroom settings in the school, include “Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Ready.”
        Student behavior is documented using a tool called Class Dojo – a behavior tracking system that reinforces positive behaviors and quickly engages students in becoming accountable for their own choices. On a scheduled rotation, students are able to “shop” from the Dojo reward cart using the points they have earned for meeting the behavior expectations.
        The top Class Dojo winners for October include:
        Kindergarten: Ty Bloomer, Brynlee Supinski, Isabelle Widmer, Abby Schlagheck, Erica Terrell, Lane Argue, Valerie Fausey, Caralyn Boss and James Lowe.
        First grade: Alex Pickering, Zach Sindeldecker, Violet Wilson, Beckett Sweet, Lorraina Reif, Hudson Hathaway, Addisynn Lenke, and Cody Rickus.
        Second grade: Josh Miller, Emily Krohn, Alayna Forsythe, Lexi Hayes, Ethan Key, Cooper Sweet, Isabel Meyer, and Emma Schlagheck.
        Third grade: Natalie Lenke, Annabelle Toris, Kaylee Laubacher, Ainzley Johnson, Thomas Mills, Boston Haas, Justice Kwiatkowski, Blake Gaines, Myah Donalds and Olivia Matusas.
