This release focuses on bringing requested updates to our customers in PBIS Rewards and Teacher Rewards. Highlighted by connecting Staff Star Rewards to actual points in Teacher Rewards, customizing student purchasing by grade level, and providing admin with a way to give a larger point amount to multiple students at the same time.

Must See Information:

Staff can automatically receive points in Teacher Rewards for earning Staff Stars (logging in, rewarding a student points, or reaching the Daily Point Goal). From the Settings page under the Options tab an admin can turn on this feature and determine the point values for each star.

Student purchasing can be turned on by grade level. An admin can determine if student purchasing is allowed based on grade level. From the Settings page under the Options tab, all grades or individual grades can be selected for store purchases, event registration and/or raffle/drawing entry.

Larger point values can be given to multiple students at the same time. From the Students page an admin can award up to 999 points to multiple students in a given expectation.  This could be used to award a group of students for meeting a specific goal like perfect attendance, honor roll or no referrals in the grading period. The points awarded with this method would be recorded under the appropriate expectation and would be counted toward eligibility in qualifying events or raffles/drawings.

All the Other Stuff:

Approvers in Teacher Rewards can approve or deny multiple requests or recommendations at the same time.

Notifications on the PBISR web portal and staff app will be shown in the main menu when staff receive points via recommendation from Teacher Rewards.
