Policy JI

Honor And Recognition System

The Board of Education believes recognition in the South Portland School Department should honor academic and co curricular accomplishments of South Portland students in addition to motivating and encouraging efforts toward the  district’s shared vision of excellence and personal achievement.

The Board policy directs each school to develop a recognition system that exhibits the following characteristics:

  • Transparent: clear and unambiguous standards (Content, 21st Century Skills and Habits of Work) 

  • Indicators of exemplary work 

  • Honors and encourages student learning styles and interests in and outside of the classroom via multiple,  flexible pathways 

  • Academic recognition is contingent on meeting Habits of Work standards

The South Portland School Department honor and recognition system is based on the adopted criteria and grading system.
