Students will work in teams to help maintain our classroom and keep things running smoothly. This will teach them great collaboration skills, help them improve their responsibility and teamwork, and maximize instructional time.
Each student will serve on a team for half of the school year. At the halfway point, they will have an opportunity to apply for another team or reapply for their same team. Each month, students will nominate a super team that they feel went above and beyond.
