Level System Information

There will be 4 levels on the point system. Every period of attendance, students can earn points that will allow them to advance on the level system.  Each level carries with it a set of expectations.  As students move up in the level systems, the expectations and potential incentives also increase.  For example, while a student on Level 1 may only need to earn 60 points, or 60% of the points in a day, the student will not be able to take advantages of all the privileges available for a Level 4 student.  The level criteria are described below.
