Financial Literacy
Every student learns about financial literacy through our banking system and various classes, programs and activities. PBS Financial is our school's banking system, which is designed to help students understand and appreciate the value of money. Our Positive Behavior Support system is aligned with our banking system, which allows students to earn STORM bucks for demonstrating school-wide expectations. Students can then deposit or redeem STORM Bucks on their phone or computer via an online banking system. STORM bucks can be used at SSA for many different things such as purchasing items at the school store and paying for entrance in to various school events.
