About the iCAN Awards:

New to ISA this year were the iCAN Awards – awards given to students for setting high goals in academics, attendance and behavior. There were two Awards categories:

1. Student of the Week (SOTW): Every week, students were chosen by ISA teachers and staff for special recognition as individuals who show a commitment to COOPERATION, CARING AND CREATIVITY @ ISA. Students received a certificate and early pass to the cafeteria.
2. Six-Week Awards (6-WA): After every six-week grading period, students were “honored” in the following categories:

• HONOR ROLL (at least a 3.0 GPA (grade point average) or above)
• ATTENDANCE (100% – 85%)
• CITIZENSHIP (all E’s and S’s)
• TARDIES (less than 8 tardies)
• RISING SCHOLAR (ANY increase in GPA from prior report card starting in November. To be eligible, student must have at least a 1.5 GPA).

“6-WA” certificates were awarded, as well as ISA personalized gifts that have included carabiner keytags, luggage tags, pep rally scarves and aluminum water bottles.

In addition, all SOTW and 6-WA recipients could win raffle prizes that included gift cards, movie passes, “most inspiring quote choice” (student choice of personal words of inspiration to be enlarged and displayed in the school lobby), student “deejay” of iPod playlist during lunch, and lunch with Mr. Livingston or Ms. Duszynski or Ms. Peoples.

Those students who were honored in two or more 6-WA categories were treated to SPECIAL EVENTS that included make-your-own-scrumptious-lunches and field trips to the ZEUM, ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, KQED-TV, BRAVA THEATRE and more…
