Diven has several awards we give to our scholars throughout the year:
Best Fin Forward Award: This award is given to students who receive all Es for “exceptional effort” on their report cards each marking period. Families are invited to celebrate with their child during the school-day ceremony where your child receives the award and is invited to share a dolphin cookie and refreshments with you.
Super Splash Award: This award is given out once a marking period to students nominated by their teachers. Students who receive this award have embodied the Dolphin Do’s, including helping others and generally being awesome in class. Families are invited to the Wednesday morning town hall meeting if their child receives this award. The child’s picture is taken with our mascot, Splash.
Dolfriend of the Day: Every day, Mr. Werfelman or Mrs. Legare randomly select 3 or 4 students to be the Dolfriend of the Day. These students receive a small dolphin toy. This is an award that every child will receive at some point during the school year.
Good Kid Patrol: This is a paper certificate that children receive for good behavior, at staff’s discretion. Children can receive lots of these throughout the year!
Attendance Awards: Students who do not miss any school are rewarded with an adorable medium-sized gray plush dolphin at the end of the year. Other classroom-wide attendance awards include ice cream parties, craft kits, and more. Students in the 95% club (that is, those who have missed an average of 1 day or less each month) are acknowledged in the newsletter each marking period.
