     Marsh School Behavior: 

     
    Marsh School uses the Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) program, which is a positive and proactive approach to discipline. We emphasize learning Lifeskills and making positive choices. We recognize good behaviors regularly, and teach schoolwide procedures consistently. This will help to decrease problem behaviors and discipline referrals. Students are able to earn Paws cards and trade them in for privileges or enter special prize drawings. PAWS is our motto for schoolwide behavior expectations, which is explained below.
