What is PBS?

PBS stands for Positive Behavioral Supports. It is a helpful approach our school uses to create a positive and friendly environment for students.  It emphasizes teaching and reinforcing positive behaviors through clearly defined expectations that apply to all students across various school settings. Teachers and staff teach students about good behavior and how to treat each other with respect and kindness. By focusing on teaching and acknowledging positive actions, PBS aims to prevent behavioral challenges and create a more inclusive atmosphere where students can thrive academically and socially. 

At Errickson we focus on KIND, RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, and SAFE . We students demonstrate these behaviors, they can earn Elton Soar Slips. These slips are entered into a monthly raffle where students can win prizes!

PBS helps students understand what behavior is expected of them and gives them a way to earn positive things when they do well. This way, everyone at school feels happy, safe, and ready to learn, and it helps build a strong sense of teamwork and cooperation among teachers, students, and staff.

What are Elton Soar Slips?

Elton Soar Slips are special tickets students receive when any staff member at Errickson notices them being KIND, RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, and SAFE. Every student can earn these tickets from any staff member. When a student gets an Elton Soar Slip, they write their full name on it and put it in a bucket for a raffle. Raffles happen weekly in the classroom, and on the first Monday of each month, two winners are chosen from each house!
