Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS)

Our staff has taken a school-wide approach for teaching appropriate behaviors in order to optimize academic achievement for each student. It is a systematic approach that establishes and reinforces clear behavioral expectations. It is also fully aligned with our Mind Up and Second Step behavior program. Positive Behavioral Support encompasses a variety of methods that help students understand the behavioral expectations for different settings on our campus (i.e., classroom, hallway, sidewalk, bus, playground, cafeteria and with substitutes.) Overall, we are teaching and reinforcing our students to: Be Safe, Be Thoughtful, Be Accountable, and to Be Respectful. Students receive “Shining Star” stickers and cards for meeting these expectations. The cards are entered into a weekly drawing, and winners are chosen at random from each classroom in each grade level. These lucky students go to our Cupcake Café on Friday and enjoy special cupcakes with staff members.
