PBIS

What is PBIS? (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support)
PBIS is a schoolwide discipline program that emphasizes a positive approach for defining, teaching, and encouraging appropriate student behavior. PBIS is used to help create a positive climate and school culture. PBIS is a decision making framework that uses evidence-based academic and behavioral practices to achieve student success.
Mission Statement
Our Mission is to provide a positive, safe, healthy, nurturing and respectful environment in which all students have the opportunity to become productive members of society. We will provide this through: the development of clearly defined student expectations, the use of a data driven information system, and by implementing educationally sound methods that foster student character, safety, academic excellence and individual citizenship.
Acknowledgement System
Throughout the year, students earn tickets to reinforce and celebrate the success of following the behavioral expectations. Every time a student earns a ticket, they are also given a sticker for the chart displayed in the hallway. Any student who earns a ticket is eligible for a weekly reward drawing. Students caught “soaring” may also qualify to participate in the PBIS celebration.
