Hazelwood Elementary School
Character Education and PBS Program
Overview Of Program
During the course of the school day students will earn "Husky Paw Prints" for specific behaviors in specific places which includes but not limited to: morning line-up, lunch, structured play, and hallway conduct. Students can also earn "Husky Paw Prints" for demonstrating any of the 9 Virtues of Being a Husky!!! The nine virtues are: respect, citizenship, responsibility, kindness/caring, perseverance, honesty, friendship, good choices, and fairness.
Some details of the program:
- Each month there will be a theme/virtue. Classroom teachers will spend time each day to discuss the monthly theme/virtue.
- School Counselors will "push-in" to classrooms to implement lessons to reinforce the theme/virtue.
- Each week of the school year morning announcements will begin with a quote that ties into the theme/virtue of the month.
- On Friday afternoon during lunch students who earned "Husky Paw Prints" will be recognized. Students that earn the most Paw Prints by grade will be honored with their name posted on the Husky Wall of Honor.
- The class that earns the most paw prints during the month will earn 15 minutes of extra structured play time.
- The class that earns the most paw prints for the school year will have a pizza party in June.
- Our school goal is to earn 600 paw prints by Holiday Break and 1,200 paw prints by June 13th.
I look forward to a great school year and I am very excited to see our students grow and learn!
