Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

Mansion Avenue School is participating in an important initiative called Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a model for creating safer and more effective schools that educate all children by adopting research-based, school-wide and classroom behavior support systems. The process focuses on teaching and supporting positive behavior for all students. PBIS includes school-wide procedures and processes intended for all students and all staff in all settings. By teaching and reinforcing appropriate and positive behaviors, research shows that schools become safer and more productive learning environments where teachers can teach and all students can learn.

We have adopted four school-wide behavioral expectations. Similar to our school discipline code, these expectations define appropriate behavior in our school. You will see these expectations posted throughout the school and your child will be learning them during his or her first days at school. Our unified school-wide expectations, found in every classroom and non-classroom setting in the school, are as follows:

R = RESPECT O = OWNERSHIP A = ACHIEVEMENT R = RESPONSIBILITY
