What is PBIS?
What is PBIS?
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a national program designed as a proactive approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students to achieve social, emotional, and academic success. At Dawson, we implement PBIS to create a positive school environment by promoting good behavior and recognizing students who exemplify our core values. Our program focuses on teaching and reinforcing expected behaviors, providing support for students who need it, and fostering a community where everyone can thrive. Through PBIS, we strive to build a safe and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered.

Fridays are Popcorn Day!
Fridays are Popcorn Day!
Every Friday, the Dawson Student Council raises funds for a designated monthly cause by selling delicious bags of popcorn for just $0.25 each. Students can purchase popcorn on the day by bringing a quarter to school or by prepaying for the entire year in advance. Prepayment options are available on our Home Page (see link for prepayment).
Join us in supporting great causes while enjoying a tasty treat!
