NEWARK – To help establish a foundation of proactive behavior and academic outcomes across the GOAL Digital Academy student population, the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) team has launched an initiative school-wide to engage students at all academic levels. 

The team has implemented a Student of the Month program in which students are recognized in three grade bands, elementary, middle school, and high school for behavioral achievements that match the PBIS initiative, not just for grades or attendance.

GOAL Digital Academy recently announced the students named as Students of the Month for January, February and March. These students are nominated by staff members. Students who are awarded this honor will have their picture posted in their learning lab, receive a student of the month pennant and certificate, and will be congratulated by administration.

The following students from Mount Vernon were named, listed by grade level:

January

Trenton Kane-Sapp, Grade 12

 

February

Arria Williams, Grade 10

Ciera Cramer, Grade 4

 

March

Ashton Armstrong, Grade 10
