PBIS at Gonsalves Elementary
What is PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. PBIS serves as an approach to school-wide discipline. With PBIS, students are explicitly taught the expectations and procedures for the entire school campus. We believe in positive reinforcement of proper behaviors and decision-making in our school.
