The Way of the Wolf

Positive Behavior Support
Ron Watson Middle School students will experience the “Way of the Wolf” as we implement Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Students will be expected to follow the “Way of the Wolf” which includes the following:

  • Be Responsible
  • Be Respectful
  • Be Safe
  • Be Excellent

Wolf Pride Slips
To complement the “Way of the Wolf,” RWMS students will be given an opportunity each day to earn a “Wolf Pride” slip for demonstrating positive behaviors on our campus. When a student receives a slip, they will fill it out and turn it into a box located in their grade level hall. On Friday, a drawing will be held for each grade level for students to earn an extra reward.
