Walter Eagles SOAR!

At Walter School we are building a positive behavior system, PBIS. Our mascot is the eagle and we identified four behaviors that go with our eagle for our students to demonstrate. S is for safe. O is for open arms. A is for academic and R is for respectful. The school identified what each of the traits looks like for particular locations in the school. Each classroom developed a matrix to show these behaviors for locations in the classroom. Then the grade level developed behaviors for the grade level. The school then developed behaviors for locations around the school, the cafeteria, the library, the restrooms, the walkways and the playground. Following vacation our school had a SOAR Day.
