A student's net behavior points are calculated by subtracting any negative points from their positive points. Achievement points are awarded to students for a variety of accomplishments such as impressive classwork, exceptional homework submission, progression, learning attitude, demonstrating any of the Rokeby values or taking care of the school environment.
