How is PBIS implemented at Stillson?

Specific procedures for teaching and celebrating these expectations will occur throughout the year. This will be achieved through the use of:

Teach To's: School wide instruction of expected behaviors. All behaviors are taught at the beginning of the year, after winter break and throughout the year whenever a student or class demonstrates difficulties displaying appropriate behaviors in a particular setting.

Stinger Stubs: Immediate reinforcement of positive behaviors. These are given by all staff members whenever a student is observed following the expectations.

Minors (Quick Slips) and Office Discipline Referrals (ODR's): Teaching and data collection tools to inform administration, staff, and parents of problem behaviors. This data is tracked and collected for staff to see how referrals are being made each month and when and where problem behaviors are occurring.

Celebrations: By following the expectations students participate in school wide activities to celebrate positive behaviors.

What can I do to help my student display positive behaviors at school?

  • Review the expectations with your child.

  • Ask your child about his/her day at school every day.

  • Make sure your child is ready every day. Ensure a good night's sleep.

  • Make sure your child arrives to school on time each day.

  • Encourage your child to be on time every class.

  • Provide a quiet time and space for your child to do homework nightly.

  • Keep in touch with your child's teacher.

  • Encourage your child to use appropriate language and tone.

  • Practice positive phrases with your child, such as, "Thank you," "Excuse me," and "Please."

  • Be a visible part of your child's school day. Attend PTO meetings and other school activities.
