Oakbrook Elementary is a PBIS school.  Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a nationally recognized process that helps create safer and more effective schools.  Through PBIS, teachers and other school staff are taught to focus on improving the ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students.  PBIS includes school-wide procedures and processes to help all students and staff in classroom and non-classroom settings.  The PBIS process also focuses on those students that present the most challenging behaviors.  The most important thing about the PBIS process is that it is a team-based process, centered around problem-solving, planning, and evaluation.

       Students are rewarded for showing their PAWS.  PAWS is and acronym that stands for: Personal Best, Acting Responsibly, Work and Play Safely, and Show Respect.  Each time a student displays one of these expectations, they are given a power paw slip corresponding with the appropriate expectation and sticker.  Each week we draw names of students from our power paw boxes and students receive school-wide recognition and incentives from our business partners.  Classes that earn the most power paws are also recognized at the beginning of each new week.  At Oakbrook Elementary, we also like to reward our faculty and staff for focusing on positive behavior displayed by students around the school.  A myriad of incentives from duty free lunch to gift cards (donated by our business partners) is given on a weekly basis.
