I think that this is a bad move. I am a teacher and outside of the school I have my potty mouth, but when I am at work I am professional and model appropriate communication with my students. School is where children are supposed to be educated and I think many people have loss sight of this fact. With the praise for actions that should be common sense, such as bringing supplies and being on time, we are condoning a "what do I get for this action" generation. In my experiences, I have noticed that many students will refuse to do something unless a prize is going to be given. Internal motivation is dwindling and so is the education of our youth. Children are going to cuss, but the school is not the place to use this language. When people use cuss words in a professional environment, they have the tendency to lose credibility. Why should the schools promote an action that is going to harm them in the "real" world?
