Our activities enhance student learning, family involvement and volunteering. Students can participate in many in-school programs and extra-curricular activities promoting leadership and personal growth. Check the Back Calendar for dates and more information on school activities.

Awards, incentives and recognition

High-fives in the hallways, smiles and a positive way-to-go are common sights and sounds at Back Elementary. Daily encouragement and a positive atmosphere provides a friendly, nurturing environment for students. 

Attendance

Attendance at school is important. School attendance is important for academic success and growth. We encourage and motivate students to have perfect attendance with school incentives. 

Awards Ceremony

The Awards Ceremony recognizes outstanding achievements and effort in our students every semester. The Awards Ceremony takes place in the cafeteria and parents, grandparents and family members are invited to attend. A valid picture ID is required when checking in at the front office.

Birthdays

Students are recognized on the announcements for their birthday. When a child's birthday falls on a weekend or holiday, their names are called the day before so all students are recognized. Each student is gifted a birthday pencil for their birthday. 

Principal's 100

Each week, students are chosen from each class to receive recognition for outstanding performance in grades, citizenship, diligence and other positive traits. Students are recognized on the school morning announcements every other week and are added to the Principal's 100 list.
