Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) cover a sweeping set of principles that can help schools guide students toward positive behavior and improved discipline. Rather than focusing on changing the student, PBIS encourages students to change themselves by guiding them with environmental change and teaching consequences.
Daily Conduct Rewards
Throughout the day, the students can earn “Cub Cash” by any faculty member for exhibiting characteristics of PAWS. (Pre-K may be on a different day as it fits into their schedule) Students can redeem the Cub Cash for privileges/tangible rewards at the PAW-Mart store on the day they visit the library. Cub Cash should be kept at school in the classroom.
Book of Winners
Each day, all K-3 homeroom teachers will select a student who demonstrated their best P.A.W.S. behavior. Students will receive a certificate to be brought to the office to sign the “Book of Winners”. Students’ names will be announced during the morning announcements the following morning.
Bus of Winners
Students are recognized by the bus drivers daily for following all P.A.W.S. bus expectations. Students receive a certificate from the driver and sign the "Bus of Winners" Poster located in the hallway near the office.
Weekly Conduct Reward
Students who receive all A’s or B’s in conduct and have no unexcused tardies or absences for the week (Monday-Thursday) will be rewarded with a dress down day on Friday.
