Parkview Pride

Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) is a framework used in schools to promote positive behaviors and create a safe, effective learning environment by teaching and reinforcing positive behaviors, rather than focusing on negative behaviors. 

PBIS uses a tiered system to address different levels of support, starting with universal interventions for all students (Tier 1) and progressing to more targeted interventions for students with specific needs (Tier 2 and 3).

Students are re-taught when expectations are not met, and acknowledged for displaying behaviors that meet expectations.

In September, we begin with a Bullpup Bonanza where students are taught and practice positive behavior expectations around the building - in the cafeteria, the restrooms, the hallways, and in the classroom.  They visit different areas of the playground to learn how to show respect, responsibility, and safety while playing outdoors.   

When returning from Winter and Spring breaks, school wide expectations are taught and reinforced through interactive lessons and activities. These often focus on specific skills, determined by grade level teams and PBIS teams. 

In winter, students learn how to show Parkview Pride while playing in the snow as well as how to keep winter gear organized near their coat racks.
