PBIS Rewards Family App
Are You Connected?!
How Does It Work?
After the parent or guardian downloads the app on a smartphone, they can scan a QR code to add their student to the app. This QR code is special for each student and is given to the parent in a letter from the school. The app checks the QR code, letting the parent see their student's points and progress as the school year goes on. Parents or guardians can see how their student is doing and encourage good behavior at home using the app.
- Two-way messaging with the Teacher
- Translates into 17 languages
