Throughout the years students collect their PAWS cards to win fun prizes in the quarterly raffle. P.A.W.S stands for (Professional, Action, Working together, and safe). It is a program that lets staff members and teachers reward students for their good behavior. Sierra Linda has adapted the PBIS program for the last three years and has been very successful.
