Los Coyotes

School-Wide Behavior Plan

P.R.I.D.E.

Our goal at LosCoyotesSchool is for all students and staff to be Positive, show Respect, have Integrity, be Dependable, and demonstrate Excellence, so that each child can receive the best education possible. At LosCoyotesSchool, we believe that children need a clear understanding of the expected behaviors as well as the opportunity to practice them. The School-Wide Behavior Plan is based on the premise that appropriate behavior is part of the learning process and that all children are included in that process.

LosCoyotesSchool has been involved in a school-wide behavior program through the Orange County Department of Education. The program is called the Positive Behavior and Intervention Support Program, and is aimed at achieving positive, safe behavioral climate at our school. One of the most important ways to improve behavior is to have clear, specific behavioral and academic expectations that are consistently demonstrated by everyone at the school. At LosCoyotesSchool we have adopted five simple, yet important school-wide expectations: be Positive, show Respect, have Integrity, be Dependable, and demonstrate Excellenceat all times. In order to teach the children these expected behaviors, they will be taught, modeled, and reinforced by all LosCoyotesSchool staff members.

Please spend some family time discussing the various aspects of Los Coyotes’ Behavior Plan with your child. With your continued support and involvement, there is not question that LosCoyotesSchool will continue to be a school where students can excel in a safe, respectful, and cooperative learning environment.

Guiding Principles

P.R.I.D.E is designed to help create a climate of cooperation, academic excellence, respect, responsibility, and safety at LosCoyotesSchool. P.R.I.D.E is based on seven guiding principles. We believe these principles will help create an optimal learning environment for the students at LosCoyotesSchool. The guiding principles are as follows:
  • Clear expectations for student behavior.
  • Clear and consistent strategies for encouraging appropriate behavior.
  • Clear and consistent consequences that discourage inappropriate behavior.
  • A support system and individual behavioral programs for students with unique or exceptional needs.
  • Clearly designed methods for evaluation and revising the components of P.R.I.D.E.
  • The characteristics and philosophy of the behavior plan will be communicated to students and parents.
