At Vega Collegiate Academy, running a PBIS rewards store used to quietly drain time from the school day.
Helping students log in, check point balances, and submit orders consumed about 20 minutes of advisory time every single day.
When Vega shifted to student self-serve shopping with QR badges and in-app fulfillment, that time reappeared.
The result: nearly 7 hours of instructional and advisory time reclaimed every month. Immediately.
Before making the switch, Vega’s PBIS store relied on Google Forms and manual point deductions in a separate system.
The workflow created friction at every step:
Vega didn’t need a new PBIS philosophy.
They needed a system students could actually run themselves.
Vega moved its school store to LiveSchool Student Shopping so everything lived in one place:
No second platform. No manual cleanup. No guessing.
“Having it all in one spot is really amazing.”
— Courtney Turner, PBIS & Behavior Lead
Her favorite part?
“That is my favorite part of the whole system — the fulfillment… I don’t have to go into any other system to take points away.”
One simple move unlocked everything else: QR badges.
Courtney printed and laminated QR codes for every student. A quick scan opens LiveSchool — no passwords, no classwide logins, no teachers walking the room troubleshooting.
The result?
“Now that we’re this far in, all of my students are ordering completely on their own.”
Students order during advisory.
Students order from home on their phones.
Teachers get their time back.
Vega didn’t just digitize rewards — they redesigned fairness.
Instead of a high-stakes end-of-year auction, Vega now offers
Every point earned or deducted aligns to Vega’s PBIS core values.
The language isn’t “minus two points” — it’s “that behavior doesn’t show belonging.”
The system reinforces consistency, not punishment.
The most powerful reward wasn’t a prize — it was an experience.
Free Dress, priced at 200 points, quickly became the most motivating item for 7th and 8th graders.
“For teenagers, being in your own clothes and having experiences that show who you are — those are very, very powerful for middle school.”
Students actively changed behavior to protect points and reach Friday goals.
Vega’s behavior matrix is simple and transparent:
Students understand the trade-offs immediately:
lose points now — or hit your reward goal.
The clarity supports self-regulation, not compliance for compliance’s sake.
What once cost 20 minutes of advisory time every day now adds up to:
“It’s been very, very beneficial to me and the school — our system’s going really, really well.”
