PACT
PACT represents the values we choose to live by every day at Bronx Alliance.
PACT guides how our leaders learn, behave, communicate, and contribute to our school community.
PACT helps us work together as a school family and prepare our leaders for success in school and in life.
What PACT Looks, Sounds, and Feels Like
PERSISTENCE
One way leaders show PERSISTENCE is by coming to school every day. Each month during our PACT Assemblies, we celebrate leaders with Perfect Attendance and Most Improved Attendance. Honorees receive certificates, medals, and trophies in recognition of their commitment.
Academic growth and achievement are also celebrated during our monthly PACT Assemblies. Leaders receive awards for Honor Roll, Most Improved, and Outstanding Effort in each core subject.
At Bronx Alliance, we are not looking for leaders with perfect grades. We are looking for leaders who are not afraid to make mistakes, learn from them, and keep moving forward.
ACCOUNTABILITY
One way to show ACCOUNTABILITY to your school community is by wearing your school uniform. It just hits different when you walk in a classroom or an auditorium and everyone is in uniform. It feels like a family. There is no one right way to wear your school uniform. Here are some examples from your classmates!
COMMUNICATION
Writing and speaking are only two forms of COMMUNICATION. The Arts are an important form of COMMUNICATION that affects moods, brings calm, and invites and inspires ALL to do and be better humans. All forms of COMMUNICATION are valued at BAMS!

TEAMWORK
If you take out the "team" in "TEAMWORK" then it's just "work". Who wants that? TEAMWORK is togetherness, it's community, and it's a shared vision.
At BAMS we know the only way we will go far, is together.

REWARDING YOUR PACT
PBIS Rewards, a digital app we use to track “on PACT” behaviors, is a key tool in our mission to foster a positive school culture.
When leaders demonstrate Persistence, Accountability, Communication, and Teamwork, their PBIS QR code is scanned by a staff member. This action will add PBIS points to the leader’s PBIS account, rewarding their positive behavior.
Leaders can earn 10 - 50 PBIS points per day. These points can then be used to purchase a variety of items, such as pizza, Ice Cream Social, extra recess, school dances, school trips (and so much more!).
