In our quest to achieve our school goals:

• Prepare all students to graduate from Aptos High School ready to enter a career and college by increasing the percentage of students meeting content area standards and A-G eligibility.

 

• Identify and implement instructional strategies and interventions to increase academic performance for all students including: students who are English learners, long-term English learners, migrant, socio-economically disadvantaged, students-in-transition, and students who receive Special Education services.

 

• Maintain a safe educational and social-emotional environment that fosters a caring community where all students feel connected to and supported by peers and adults.

 

Aptos High School is implementing Positive Behavior Intervention  and Support (PBIS), coherent and consistent school wide behavioral expectations that teach and reinforce positive behaviors are the foundation of PBIS.  This approach will provide multiple pathways for developing relationships and making positive connections.

“THE MARINER WAY”

"The Mariner Way" is to live and act in such a way that Aptos High School becomes a community of positivity, inclusiveness, engagement, and achievement.

The school wide behavioral expectations and reinforcement of positive behaviors are based on "The Mariner Way". "The Mariner Way" will be applied to all settings on campus (classrooms, hallways, quad, cafeteria, restrooms, locker rooms, library, buses, parking lots, and the Office) and at off campus events. "The Mariner Way" will be taught and reinforced through the acronym S.A.I.L. 

 

Mariners will be awarded points and earn rewards for exhibiting "The Mariner Way" by the Mariner Staff. Students will need their Student Identification Cards to be awarded points as we are using 5Star Students to track a student's points for positive behaviors. Students will be able to redeem their points for rewards. Also, students can earn points by participating in extra and co-curricular activities and by attending certain school events. 

Mariner parents can support their student(s) by utilizing strategies that promote safety, timely communication, engagement, and achievement. Promoting Mariner Manners and encouraging your student(s) to live "The Mariner Way" by meeting the school wide expectations will support our quest to become a community of positivity, inclusiveness, engagement, and achievement.
