Positive Behavior

instruction of behavioral expectations and social
behaviors.

student engagement through the implementation of
prevention and intervention strategies.

Lake Forest Leopards ROARRR!
The 3 R’s represent our 3
school-wide expectations for student behavior.

Students are acknowledged in
a positive way for meeting the expectations. The students
receive Prowl Paws for following the expectations. The Prowl
Paws can be exchanged for Leopard Loot (prizes). Class Prowl
Paws are also given to classes that are following the
expectations.
We are very excited about
PBIS at Lake Forest!
