Mission and Goals

MISSION

In accordance with PBIS universal guidelines, the PBIS expectations at Allegheny-Clarion Valley Junior/ Senior High School are designed to (1) provide a clear understanding of expected student behavior, (2) be few in number, (3) be positively stated and structured, (4) use familiar language, and (5) include example behaviors defined for purposes of instruction. These expectations are:

Stay Safe

Ownership

Act Respectfully

Ready to Learn

GOALS

Our ultimate goal is to improve overall school climate and lay foundations for building relationships that will pay dividends in the future. Together through consistency and positive relationships, we will improve the behavior of all students. PBIS aims to decrease behavioral infractions showing year-over-year improvement. PBIS assists towards this end as it is based upon the concept of teaching behaviors that will prevent noncompliance. We hope to develop a positive school community, to teach everyone the expectations for our Junior/Senior High School and reward systems for SOARing (staying safe, taking ownership, act respectfully, and ready to learn). By concentrating on positive behaviors, we hope to create and maintain a positive and safe learning environment. Being consistent with addressing students when they do and do not meet our behavior expectations will increase compliance, provide them with greater structure, and clarify expected behavior. Students at Allegheny-Clarion Valley Junior/Senior High School will meet the building-wide expectations specified within both classroom and non-classroom settings at all times.
