Positive Behavior Instruction System
Be Responsible, Respectful, and Safe! Pasadena thrives on Positive Behavior Management. As a school wide system, students are able to receive Panther Pride tickets. Teachers and Staff pass out tickets whenever they see students following school rules by being Respectful, Responsible, and Safe. On Friday of each week, a few tickets with students names are selected school wide. These include two students from each class. The student winners receive prizes. Students work hard for their tickets and anticipate the time when winners are chosen.
