PBS Corner

Julie Woolner (PBS facilitator) and Lean Talkington (counselor)

Here at Laurel we are part of the Positive Behavior System (PBS).  This is a system that focuses on and rewards the positive behaviors of the students and the staff and works to build a safe, consistent environment where everyone can grow and succeed.

At Laurel we have identified four (4) schoolwide rules/expectations that have become our ROAR code:

Respect Own my behavior Attitude Responsibility

In addition we have also identified nine (9) character traits that we feel exemplify the ROAR code:

Respect:  Treating others as you want to be treated
Integrity:  Knowing what is right and wrong, and doing what is right
Responsibility:  Being accountable for your own behavior and learning
Citizenship:  Working together, despite differences, to make our school, community, and country a better place to live and learn
Honesty:  Being truthful in words and actions
Kindness:  Showing concern for the well being of others
Self-discipline:  Being responsible for controlling one’s words, actions and reactions
Perseverance:  Staying with a task and not giving up
Courage:  To face a challenge without fear, having the determination to do the right thing    even when others don’t

For the month of September we will be focusing on Respect.
