SURFS Up at Macdonough School

Teaching behavioral expectations and rewarding students for following them is the focus for our school-wide positive behavioral support program. Through the acronym SURFS, students and staff have a common understanding of expectations for behavior in a variety of settings.

S=Self-Responsibility
U=Understanding
R=Respect
F=Fairness
S=Safety

We believe that introducing, modeling, and reinforcing positive social behavior is an important of a student’s educational experience.

The month of February will include a focus on Self-Responsibility. Teachers and students will spend time each day discussing the attribute of Self-Responsibility in the classroom, the hallway, the cafeteria, the bus ride, and even at home.
