PAWS

PAWS will start on Monday of next week!

PAWS
Positive Actions With Support
PAWS is a PBIS Tier 2 program designed to help small groups of students meet the Lakeview
school-wide expectations, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe.

Role of the PAWS teachers:
• Connect with PAWS students during Homebase to see how they are and make sure
they have the supplies they need for the day.
• Make sure that PAWS students have all of their assignments written down by Study
Hall.
• See PAWS students briefly at the end of the day to assess the students’ days and get
their parent form to take home.

Role of Students in PAWS:
• Check in with their PAWS teacher in the morning.
• Bring supplies needed for 1st-5th period to Homebase
• Take their DPR to each class.
• Give the DPR to their teachers at the beginning of class.
• Act Respectfully, Responsibly and Safely during class.
• See their teachers at the end of each class for a brief behavior evaluation.
• Write down their assignments in their assignment notebooks in their classes.
• Check out with their PAWS teacher at the end of 8th period.
• Bring the parent signature form home and get it signed.
• Bring the signed parent form back to school the following day.

Role of all Teachers:
• Monitor the behavior of PAWS students in class.
• Give them a score on the DPR each day based on the Lakeview expectations, Be Respectful,
Be Responsible (on time to class, brings supplies to class, homework completion,
etc), Be Safe.
• Briefly meet with the student at the end of class to explain the scores you gave them.
Students should not be handed their DRP without having their scores explained to
them. For example: I gave you 2 points for being responsible because you had your
homework done, but you only got 1 point for being respectful because you told Johnny
that his question was stupid.”

Role of Parents:
• Try to set your child up for a good day before he/she leaves for school. Having his/her
backpack packed at night might make for a less stressful morning.
• When you and your child get home, please ask him/her how his/her day was. Ask to
see the DPR that was filled out by your child’s teachers that day. Celebrate the points
that your child earned in his/her classes. Encourage him/her in areas that need work.
• Sign the DPR and have your child pack it in his/her bag to take back to school the next
day.
