At Oakland Elementary, we use a positive behavior matrix to promote student awareness and accountability in expected behaviors.  This matrix is displayed in every classroom, throughout the building, and outlined in the OES Student Handbook.

Our OWLS Matrix is designed to clearly define schoolwide expectations, helping students understand what positive choices look like in different settings.  These expectations are also linked to Class Dojo, which is consistently used by classroom teachers, special area teachers, support staff, and administrators to provide consistency for our students and with parent communication. 

The four overarching student-friendly expectations are:

1. O – Own Your Actions
2. W – Work Hard Together
3. L – Listen to Learn
4. S – Stay Safe

These expectations are broken down, explicitly taught, and reinforced daily to help students succeed both in and out of the classroom.
