PBIS

Pelicans-of-the-Week are chosen by their teacher for exhibiting excellent behavior or making great strides towards achieving a personal goal. These students are announced every Friday at our school-wide Morning Meeting and celebrated the following week in their classroom. Every teacher has their own special way to honor their Pelican-of-the-Week! 

At Woodlake, we nurture students' character development with short daily lessons on the 7 Habits of the Leader in Me framework. During our daily Morning Meeting, the students are given the opportunity to reflect on the habits and connect it to their own lives. 

August: Habit 1: Be Proactive

September: Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

October: Habit 3- Put First Things First

November: Habit 4: Think Win-Win

December: Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood 

January: Habit 6: Synergize

February: Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

March: Habit 8: Find your Voice

April: All Habits!

Students of the Month are selected for exemplifying the character trait of the month. Students and their parents attend a celebratory breakfast and receive a yard sign.

C.H.A.M.P.S. is a behavior management system used by all teachers at Woodlake. The C.H.A.M.P.S. system aims to improve student behavior through clearly defined expectations. Before each activity, the students review the expectations using the C.H.A.M.P.S. board posted in the classroom.

C  = Conversation = How will students engage with each other during the activity?

H  = Help = What’s the process for seeking assistance or support?

A  = Activity = What type of learning structure or format is it?

M = Movement = Are learners permitted to move about the classroom?

P  = Participation = Which behaviors demonstrate active learning?

S  = Success = Are students successful with their behavior for this task?

By following the CHAMPS expectations, instructional time is optimized and students feel successful in their learning!
