Student Recognition

Merritt Trace Elementary focuses on developing students who are able to self-assess and reflect on their growth so that next steps are created by each individual student.  Students are taught to identify their successes and celebrate these so that each student can recognize the growth made and determine the next goal.  In this way, students develop their own goals and can transfer this skill set to all areas of life.

Awards assemblies are held every month for each grade level to recognize students who have been nominated by their classroom teacher.  Awards assemblies occur on either Monday or Friday at a specific time dedicated to the grade level.  Four students are selected by their classroom teacher to receive one of the following recognitions: Math Achievement, Reading Achievement, Star Student or Special Recognition.  

Students who are selected to receive an award will have a communication sent to their family by the classroom teacher so that the family is present to see their student receive their recognition.
