Cougar Cash

At Walt Clark, we use PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) to recognize and celebrate students for showing We ARE Cougars values: Achieve, Respect, Engage. When students demonstrate these positive behaviors, staff award them Cougar Cash.

Students enter their Cougar Cash into daily drawings to win items from our school store, special privileges, or fun incentives. This helps us build a positive school culture by reinforcing the choices that lead to success in school and beyond.


If you would like to support our PBIS program, we are always grateful for donations of small prizes such as small recess toys, fun school supplies, quiet fidgets, or small gift cards. These items help keep our Cougar Store exciting and motivating for students.


Thank you for partnering with us in celebrating positive choices!
