LUNCH AIDES are the authorities at recess.

AWARDS/RECOGNITION
Millennium will institute a number of recognition programs appropriate for elementary students. Millennium reserves the right to add and modify programs to fit the climate and resources surrounding our school.

Accelerated Reader
An easy to use computer-based tool that inspires students to read more and better books. Each student selects his or her own reading material. With the book completed, the student works through a computerized multiple choice test. Upon completing each test, the students get immediate feedback in the form of reading points. The points are based on the length and reading level of the book, and on the student's test score. The reading points provide instant reinforcement for the student's efforts. Recognition is given to students accumulating various totals of AR points.

D.A.R.E.
(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) - at the conclusion of the eight week program, fifth graders receive a certificate for satisfactorily completing the program. Additionally, selected students receive awards for their posters, speeches, and skits. The D.A.R.E. officer determines the awards.

Read to Succeed
Reading incentive program whereby students who complete 600 minutes of individual reading will receive a free ticket to Great America.

Good Citizens
Each week teachers award the good citizens in their classroom. Students receive a certificate, get their group picture taken and displayed in the commons, and choose a small prize.


VALUABLES
Common sense and consideration is the best guide in determining whether or not to bring personal possessions to school. The school administrator and staff cannot be responsible for valuables which students bring to school. Students should leave all valuables at home. Do not bring possessions such as, but not limited to: electronic games, collector cards, Beanie Babies, CD Players, iPods, or valuable jewelry. HEELYS (shoes with wheels on the bottom) ARE NOT ALLOWED IN SCHOOL.
