Saugus district schools were among 611 schools statewide that were recognized this year.

Schools that received platinum recognition are Cedar Creek and West Creek Academy. Schools that received gold recognition are: Charles Helmers Elementary, Mountainview Elementary, Rio Vista Elementary, Skyblue Mesa Elementary , Tesoro del Valle Elementary, Plum Canyon Elementary, Bridgeport Elementary, Emblem Academy, Highlands Elementary, James Foster Elementary, Rosedell Elementary and Santa Clarita Elementary. The school that received silver recognition is Northpark Elementary.
Superintendent Colleen Hawkins said in a news release: “We are so excited and proud of the work at all of the schools, but in particular we are honored to receive notification that Cedarcreek and West Creek each received platinum status this year. Great job school teams!” California PBIS is a collaborative organization using evidence-based culturally relevant practices to build the capacity for stakeholders in the implementation of PBIS, a multi-tiered system following the National PBIS Blueprint for professional development, implementation and evaluation. The primary goal of CA PBIS is to support the sustainable development of a safe, equitable and positive climate and social culture for all.
