Dexter, Missouri - At the start of each month at Southwest Elementary, one classroom in each grade is recognized for exhibiting the high character with regard to observing the school's 3R's.  They earn the School Wide Positive Behavioral Support (SWPBS) award.

The 3R's stand for being Respectful, Ready to Learn and Responsible.  The class with the highest attendance average, combined with the fewest disciplinary measures and general good character are awarded a 3R red flag to be posted in their classroom for the next month.  The students are also awarded "superhero" capes to wear and parade around the gym before returning to class.

Shannon Putnam's First Grade class earned the 3R Flag for this month.
