All week, from December 12 through 16, the Bibb County School District celebrated the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports program with PBIS Week. This includes celebrations at each school, as well as mental health first aid kids, provided by Project AWARE, to support self-care for our students’ mental well-being.
This celebration also coincides with the announcement of school PBIS recognitions by the Georgia Department of Education. This year, 18 District schools were named Distinguished PBIS Schools: Alexander II Magnet School, Bruce Elementary School, Sonny Carter Elementary School, Central High School, Elam Alexander Academy at Burke, Elam Alexander Academy at Southwest, Hartley Elementary School, Ingram-Pye Elementary School, John R. Lewis Elementary School, Rosa Taylor Elementary School, Rutland High School, Skyview Elementary School, SOAR Academy, Southwest High School, Union Elementary School, Veterans Elementary School, Vineville Academy of the Arts and W.S. Hutchings College and Career Academy.
Just seven high schools statewide received this honor, with three located in Bibb County. Additionally, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School, Springdale Elementary School and Weaver Middle School were named Operational PBIS Schools, the second-highest recognition level.
Rutland High School was invited to present at a national conference in Atlanta this month. The students actually led part of the presentation, discussing school climate and culture, and they did such a phenomenal job that they have been invited to present at a national conference in Florida!
