P.A.W.S
Code of Conduct - P.A.W.S.
P.A.W.S. defines the behavior expectations that all students and all adults follow so that we can build and sustain a positive learning environment in our school. P.A.W.S. is something we do everyday--we P.A.W.S. and Think before we act!
P.-- stands for “Practice Kindness”
A.-- stands for “Act Responsibly”
W.-- stands for “Work Hard”
S.-- stands for “Show Respect”
P.A.W.S. reminds us of how we all should be treated and how we should treat each other. We practice P.A.W.S. at all times and in these places:
- In the classroom
- On the playground
- On the school bus
- In the cafeteria
- In the library media center and computer room
- In the gymnasium
- In the restrooms
- In the hallways
- EVERYWHERE!
Students will be engaged by their teachers and principals in specific lessons designed to help them fully understand and comply with P.A.W.S. expectations.
Some general behavior rules that children are expected to follow are:
- Follow the directions of the adults at all times.
- Move through the hallways in an orderly and quiet manner.
- Use appropriate language at all times.
- Use materials and equipment appropriately and safely.
- Use words, not force, to resolve conflicts.
- Remember to practice kindness, to act responsibly, to work hard, and to show respect at all times! P.A.W.S. and Think!
