Paws Corner small medium large Hello Everyone, this is a page dedicated to the PAWS program that is being implemented into the daily school life of our children. This page will be updated often to give you information about what is happening at school and possible things that you could do at home. So please come back soon. Thanks PAWS Parents Corner Stranahan has started to implement the PAWS program. P = Positive Attitude, A = Act Responsibly, W = Work & Play Safe and S = Show Respect. PAWS uses school wide behavior expectations to communicate how students should behave in all areas of the building. When students demonstrate the expected behavior they are recognized for “doing the right thing”. When students demonstrate inappropriate behavior, they are re-taught the behavior expected from them. Our school’s behavior expectations are unique because the expectations are determined by the staff. Other schools that have implemented this program have found that using the same expectations as their child’s school has also supported behavior at home. When home and school have the same behavior expectations and use the same language, it is easier for children to make good decisions. The main reason that schools exist is to produce future citizens that are academically and socially competent. Positive relationships between students, parents and school staff are the cornerstones to achieving this goal. Focusing on positive relationships has the exponential effect to transform our schools cultures into a PAWSitive, supportive place of learning. Problem student behavior is reduced and academic achievement goes up. Working Together Parents can support pawsitive behavior for their child by: 1. Requesting a copy of the Behavior Matrix (chart of what areas they are working on at school- available to view on this website) from their child’s school. 2. Placing a copy on the refrigerator for easy reference. 3. Discussing the expectations with their child. 4. When contacted regarding a problem behavior, referring to the Matrix and discuss the correct choice that their child could have made.
