Sea Lion
Promoting and Recognizing Integrity, Determination and Excellence
(Sea Lion PRIDE points)
At Southwest Middle School, we believe that all students should be recognized for positive behavior. Our Positive Behavior Support (PBS) team, along with members of our SAC, have taken the idea of PRIDE already in place at Southwest and transformed it into a program introduced on January 24, 2011, through which earned points may be exchanged for rewards.
How are points earned?
-Regular attendance at before or after school tutoring sessions (1 point awarded at the end of the nine weeks)
-Regular participation in a club/activity/sport (1 point awarded at the end of the nine weeks)
-Zero Tardies in a class (1 point per class awarded at the end of the nine weeks)

How are points redeemed?
