GOOD CITIZEN ASSEMBLIES
Cahuenga Cougars are honored every month for following the 3 B's ("Be Safe", "Be Respectful", and "Be Responsible") and displaying exceptionally good character traits.
Congratulations to all our monthly winners in the areas of Responsibility, Respect, Safety, Kindness, Honesty, Fairness, Cooperation, Perseverance, and Empathy.
Good Citizen Assemblies occur the last week of the month at 8:30 am in the multi-purpose room. Winners receive a certificate, special recognition from classroom teachers, and their photographs are prominently displayed in our lobby of school awards.
CAUGHT BEING GOOD
"YOU GET A TICKET!"
Every day students are receiving positive reinforcement for doing something good.
Anytime a student is caught in the act of doing something GOOD they receive a raffle ticket for a special lunch with the Principal.
Students may receive tickets for listening to the teacher, sitting quietly, playing nicely with others, being polite, being helpful, helping to beautify the campus, or for any other GOOD act.
The Caught Being Good Raffles occur monthly during our Good Citizen Assemblies.
GOOD MANNER AWARDS
Cahuenga recognizes GOOD MANNERS every day.
Classes receive good manners awards for lining up nicely, walking up and down the stairs in an orderly fashion, cleaning up after themselves during the lunch, remaining in their play areas, or any other time the whole classroom is displaying good manners.
Classes collecting 10 awards qualify for a special classroom celebration.
