Student Recognition/Awards

We have an awards assembly in May recognizing student achievement accomplished throughout the year. These awards have different criteria to be met by students. A list and short description of these awards follows. STELLAR ACHIEVEMENT AWARD This is awarded to students who are in the top ten percent academically in English, reading, social studies, math, and science. The six weeks grades in these classes are averaged together to find the top ten percent in all classes. Citizenship is also taken into account for this award. This award is the highest academic recognition a student can obtain in their sixth grade year at Austin Academy. Academic Achievement Award This award recognizes those students who earn all A's on their report card in any core class every six weeks for the year. Certificates are given to students with seals representing those classes with A's. Extra Mile Award Students are recognized for outstanding behavior, citizenship, and attitude demonstrated on a daily basis. Academic Responsibility Award Students are rewarded for consistently demonstrating academic accountability by turning in all assignments on time and not receiving any ZAP's during the school year. This is an award every student should strive to receive! Perfect Attendance Students are recognized for perfect attendance each year. Student Council Member of the Year A student from each grade will be recognized by Student Council for his or her participation, contribution, and attendance. Fine Arts Fine arts students will be recognized for their service and commitment. Physical Education/Health Students recognized for participation, progress, and performance.
