Positive Supports, Rewards, and More
What is a Hawk Ticket?
Hawk Tickets are an integral part of our school-wide reward system at New Holland Elementary School. Learners can earn Hawk Tickets by showing respect, responsibility, and readiness in all areas of the school, such as the classroom, hallway, and playground.
For example, a student might earn a Hawk Ticket for helping a classmate, being ready with a charged computer, following directions quickly, taking care of their classroom materials, or showing kindness without being asked. Click to see how learners can use Hawk Tickets to earn privileges or prizes.
-
- Learners place their hawk tickets in the bin in their classroom.
- Once a week, their teacher holds a drawing where the learners whose names are drawn can earn privileges or prizes in the classroom.
- Or the classroom teacher might have a means for the hawk tickets to be cashed into the classroom money system for a class store.
- The hawk tickets are utilized in a number of exciting ways for the learners as they show readiness, responsibility, and respect at school!
-
- After each weekly drawing, the teacher deposits the classroom tickets into a larger, school-wide bin located in the school main lobby.

- Learners whose names are chosen can earn a privilege (ex: art apprentice, guest announcer, lunch with principals, etc) or prize from a large selection of items.

Student Recognition for 3R Recipients
