Twenty Hazelwood School District schools have been selected as 2012 Exemplar Schools in Missouri’s School-wide Positive Behavior Support Program (SW-PBS).
SW-PBS is a process for creating safer and more effective schools by structuring the learning environment to support the academic and social success of all students. The process supports the adoption and long-term implementation of efficient and effective discipline throughout the school environment.
SW-PBS methods are research-based, proven to significantly reduce the occurrence of problem behaviors in schools and supported by a three-tiered model. Each tier corresponds to three award levels – gold, silver and bronze.
Hazelwood West Middle School earned a gold-level award. Arrowpoint, Barrington and Lawson elementary schools earned silver-level awards.
