PBIS & Restorative Justice Practices

Positive Behavior & Restorative Justice in FP

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an approach that supports all students through intervention ranging from a school-wide system to a system for developing individualized plans for specific students. PBIS focuses on the development and implementation of pro-active procedures and practices to prevent problem behavior for all students and improve school climate.

Restorative Justice Practices is a theory of justice that focuses on mediation and agreement rather than punishment. Offenders must accept responsibility for harm and make restitution with victims. Restorative justice resolves disciplinary problems in a cooperative and constructive way.

Our mission is to empower students with the social and emotional skills necessary to lead a respectful and successful elementary school experience. At CDS FP, we expect students to respect themselves and respect others in all settings across the school: classrooms, bathrooms, hallways, cafeteria, and playground. Students and teachers discuss what each expectation is, what it looks like and examples of it. All staff and students in the school are expected to know the School-wide behavior expectations.
