SWPBIS stands for School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. It is a program that focuses on prevention through the creation of a school culture that is positive, safe, predictable and consistent.

The goal of SWPBIS is to create a social culture in our school that will encourage positive behavior and interactions while discouraging problem behaviors. This social culture will lead to a safe environment where students thrive academically and build positive relationships with every member of our Jefferson family. The foundation of the approach emphasizes explicitly teaching students expectations, providing reminders when needed, and acknowledging expected behaviors.

At Jefferson, all student expectations are encompassed within our motto, Jefferson SOARS:

Strive for excellence
Own my behavior
Act safely
Respect everyone
Success for all!
