9. Providing Regular Opportunities With Learning

10. What is P.R.O.W.L.? P.R.O.W.L. is an incentive program whose goal is to raise student performance through consistent, daily teaching and learning with regular classroom teachers.

11. Why does this matter? While we have been blessed with wonderful substitutes in this district, none of them are capable of providing the same teaching and learning experience as you, the regular classroom teacher. YOU ARE OUR STUDENTS’ BEST OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN; YOUR ATTENDANCE MATTERS!

12. How does P.R.O.W.L. work? At the end of every marking period every staff member who has perfect attendance will have his or her name entered into a drawing to win a $50.00 gift card.

13. Aren’t We Spending Money to Save Money? The money being afforded to P.R.O.W.L. is NOT coming from the school’s budget but will be funded with the Giant, Lifetouch, and Target funds that we receive on a yearly basis.

14. Bobcats who P.R.O.W.L.! Encouraging students to attend our classes by modeling good attendance habits is yet another way for us to be role models to our students. Your consistent attendance can help make every day a day that the bobcats P.R.O.W.L.!
