Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is a Wake County initiative that Briarcliff Elementary is implementing across all areas of the school through the PAWS approach:

PAWS supports the Briarcliff animal mascots while representing the behavior model that the school will apply consistently at all grade levels.  The purpose is to empower teachers and other adults with the skills needed to improve overall classroom and school climate in a positive way by:

• Teaching and modeling positive behavior
• Building quality relationships with students
• Creating an effective and productive learning
