  each school day
• Students check-out with an adult at the
  conclusion of each school day
• Students get feedback from teachers throughout
  the day

CICO

• Students establish 3-5 goals with the CICO adult
• Goals are based on the school wide expectations
• Typical goal is to achieve at least 80 of daily
  available points
• Students on CICO have a point card they pick up
  at the beginning of each day
• Students take the point card to each class
• Adults in each setting award the student 1-3 (or
  0-2, etc.) points for appropriate behavior during
  the period
• Students return the CICO card to the CICO
  check-out adult at the end of the school day
