BURNSIDE BEHAVIOR SYSTEM

All Students & Staff are placed in one of the Houses!

MISSION & VISION of the HOUSE SYSTEM

Through the Burnside House System, we will instill a sense of belonging, pride, and personal growth in every student. We will continue to create a positive, inclusive school community and culture that fosters internal motivation by building relationships, character, excitement, and school spirit.

POINT SYSTEM

Students will earn points for their houses for a variety of different things. Each day, teachers will track student points through an app called the “School-Wide Dojo.” This app is available for parents to see how students are doing in school.

Students will be awarded points in the following 6 categories: School Spirit, Outstanding Performance, Academic Excellence, Good Character, & Effort

In addition, students will be awarded “ultra points” for larger ticket items Attendance, Team Competitions, or Not having any Office Referrals.

Overall house points will be displayed throughout the school.

Boys & Girls Club!

They provide child care for a fee on a sliding scale based on income.
