PBIS
PBIS stands for 'Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports'
PBIS is a school-wide behavior system that creates a safer and more effective learning environment, and focuses on improving our school's ability to teach and support positive skills and behavior for all students. By helping students practice positive behavior, we work to build a strong community in which all students can succeed and grow.
PBIS uses:
- Effective Instructional Strategies - We believe that school wide expectations and rules should be taught the same way we teach academics.
- School wide expectations that demonstrate PRIDE (Prepare, Respect, Inspire, Demonstrate, Excel)
- Clear rules for each location, including classrooms, cafeteria, hallways, bathrooms, and buses
- Positive reinforcement strategies - We believe that students learn best when they are reinforced for demonstrating positive behavior.
- School-wide, classroom, and individual incentives, including (but not limited to):
- PRIDE Cash - Students can earn PRIDE cash by demonstrating positive behaviors. PRIDE cash can be used for prizes, fun activities, homework pass, etc.
- Red Tickets - When a student goes above and beyond expectations, they earn a red ticket. Each Friday, 10-20 tickets are selected. Winners receive prizes, rewards, activities, etc.
- Cafeteria coins - Earned for positive behaviors in the cafeteria. Can be exchanged for healthy snack
- Student of the Month - Students of the month receives prize pack and swag bag
- WOW awards - When a student exhibits a positive behavior that makes a staff member say, "Wow!", they earn a positive office referral, which includes a certificate, positive phone call from the principal, and small prize.
- Monthly incentives - Students who consistently follow PRIDE rules are eligible for monthly grade level rewards.
- So much more!
