Terrific Trailblazer Student Recognition Program
The TERRIFIC TRAILBLAZER Program is a student recognition program designed to teach and encourage appropriate student behavior. The Pioneer Staff focuses on character traits, student's work habits and positive social skills to help children succeed in school, at home and to be responsible citizens. The focus for this year are character traits that celebrate what's "right" with students while enabling them to develop knowledge and life skills for enhancing ethical and responsible behavior. The focus traits will help to promote citizenship in Pioneer's students. School staff will emphasize the importance of each character trait and will teach students what they mean. Each month, two or three students from each classroom who practice those positive behaviors are recognized in front of their grade level at the end of each month.

Terrific Trailblazer Tickets
Tickets can be used by any staff person or volunteer. These tickets are used by all staff to immediately reinforce positive behaviors. The ticket is handed directly to the student "caught" making good choices. The student is thanked specifically for his or her positive behavior. The student then turns the ticket in to the classroom teacher. When the class has accrued 100 tickets, their teacher signs up for the reward on the administrator's door.
The class will receive a certificate for each 100 tickets. The students will select from the Reward Menu for each 100 tickets. Classrooms can choose any item two times. Reward Menu: 15 minutes recess, Board Game Cart, Ice Cream Bars, Kick Ball, 20 minute AR Read-in with popcorn, Math Game, Sidewalk Chalk, and Educational Movie.
