At La Ballona, we are committed to addressing behavior through school-wide positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS). The goal of a PBIS framework is to improve school climate, help improve behavioral and academic outcomes, prevent problem behavior, increase learning time, promote positive social skills, and deliver effective behavioral interventions and supports. As a school, we have identified the four core values of PAWS/PATA, and identified what each behavior looks like across the campus. 

 

P -Positive Attitude           P -Actitud positiva
A -Act Responsibly           A -Actuar responsablemente
W -Work Together            T -Trabajar juntos
S -Safety First                   A -Actuar con seguridad

 

Students have opportunity to earn a variety of incentives including PAWS/PATA tickets for recognition.
