The Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) System will be known at Graves Elementary School as “The Super Sailor System” which has three basic expectations:

Be Respectful

Be Responsible

Be Safe

It is our goal to make the understanding of The Super Sailor System clear and easy for all our students. Classroom teachers, with their students, will create behavior expectations for his/her classroom. We ask that you support our efforts by being a good role model for your child(ren) and reminding them of our expectations on a daily basis. We will continually be teaching and reinforcing these expectation throughout the year !

Sincerely,

Graves School Social Workers
