PBIS Multi-Tier System

What is PBIS?

Cabazon Elementary School began school-wide implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in 2013-2014. PBIS focuses on creating and sustaining school-wide, classroom, and individual systems of support that improve the educational environment for all children. Our aim is to explicitly teach behavioral expectations and then recognize the positive behaviors shown by students.

By implementing PBIS, we hope to reduce school and classroom behavior disruptions and educate all students about acceptable school behaviors. Our PBIS implementation plan includes clearly defined outcomes, research-validated practices, supportive administrative systems, and information for problem solving behaviors.

All staff members at Cabazon Elementary School will establish regular, predictable, positive learning and teaching environments. The staff members will serve as positive role models to students as they teach expected school behaviors. Our school also has a system in place for recognizing and rewarding expected behaviors. By improving the school environment, we hope to increase learning time and promote academic and social success for every student.

Our Schoolwide Expectations:

*BE RESPECTFUL

*BE RESPONSIBLE

*BE SAFE

Hello Cabazon Parent/Guardians,

Thank you so much for seeking to support your student. Making sure we support each and every student in any way that we can is our main priority. The goal of the Tier II team is to use a team approach to identify and service students needing additional supports in academics, behavior, and attendance in order to succeed at school.

Students may be referred to the Tier II team via teacher, parent, or other school personnel request. Other data sources such as low-level referrals, office discipline referrals, in school or off campus suspensions, chronic tardiness or absences, test scores, and student grades may also lead to a Tier II team referral.

*Please note: If your student has a current Student Study Team (SST) or an Individualized Education Program (IEP), speak with your child’s teacher or case carrier for a follow-up meeting.

The Tier II team is made up of the school’s principal, school counselor, select general education and resource teachers, behavior specialists, and district personnel. Tier II service requests such as school counseling are reviewed by the Tier II team for approval.

If you would like to refer your student for Tier II team review, please fill out the information below and return to the school counselor, Mrs. Barajas. Requests will be followed up by a Tier II team member within 1 - 3 business days.
