Positive Behavior System (PBS) – Paws Matrix Double Diamond Elementary School has implemented a school-wide positive behavior support system, which seeks to promote and maintain a positive and productive learning environment for all students. This system includes direct teaching and systematic review of behavioral expectations and frequent rewards for demonstrations of appropriate behavior. The PAWS for Success matrix above describes how each expectation looks in the various settings at school. Direct Teaching of Expectations: At the beginning of each year, the three expectations (respectful, responsible and safe) are specifically taught through a combination of grade level assemblies and classroom lessons. Each student receives a copy of the PAWS Matrix, which is posted throughout the school. Expectations are specifically reviewed during the first week of each month by a combination of morning announcements and classroom lessons.
