SUMMIT ACADEMY
Akron Cub Cash Program
You may hear your student talking about a new
Elementary program we are starting here at Summit
Academy. The program is a positive behavioral
support program which was created to foster and
reward good behavior in students. Students
have the ability to earn “Cub Cash” from staff
members within the building for displaying
appropriate behaviors. The students will
accumulate their “Cub Cash” and on Fridays, the
cash can be turned into redeem prizes from the
rewards store or they may redeem the “cash” for
September privileges within their classroom. At the end of
each month, the top students with the most “Cub
Newsletter
Cash” will also participate in a fun activity.
