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.

In October, we will be focusing on hallway behavior. For example, walking quietly, standing in a straight line, stopping at important spots, etc.  Staff will be handing out tickets for these specific behaviors.
