Positive strategies to help all students learn and practice expected behaviors
Positive strategies to help all students learn and practice expected behaviors
- Caring, Safe, and Responsible Expectations are taught (and re-taught as needed) for all school settings, including the classroom, halls, bathroom, cafeteria, recess, and bathrooms. You will see LOTS of CSR signs around the school!
- DBS students earn Tokens for showing expected behaviors. Tokens can be used to earn classroom or school-wide celebrations.
- School-wide Celebrations include activities like fun assemblies, making s'mores, all-school recess, and voting for exciting things like what color Mr. D will dye his beard and which teachers will go in the dunk tank.
- Lodges are small advisory groups comprised of K-5 students and one or two teacher leaders. Lodges meet weekly to learn and practice ways to be caring, safe, and responsible. Students stay in the same lodge throughout their years at DBS.
- Ready to Learn Reset is a spot in every school setting where kids can go to regulate themselves when they are having difficulty managing their behavior. Reset is a strategy/tool for students. It is NOT a "time-out" punishment.

Additional Supports
Additional Supports
Sometimes students need extra support to help them manage behaviors that interfere with their own and/or other students’ ability to learn. Targeted and Intensive supports help students learn and practice the skills that will enable them to consistently show Caring, Safe, and Responsible behaviors toward themselves and others. Supports are provided depending on a particular student’s needs; some students may have only one support, others may have several. Students receiving Targeted and Intensive supports spend almost all of their time in their regular classrooms. Parent permission is required for students to receive Targeted and Intensive supports.

Targeted supports help students with persistent, low-level behavior or self-confidence issues. (Examples of low-level behavior issues include refusing to work, not following directions, disrupting your own or others' learning, and being unkind to others.) Targeted supports at DBS include Check-in/Check-out, Scheduled/Earned Breaks, Processing Breaks, Otter Club Lunch Groups, Recess Planning, Gear Up, Social Skills/Self-Regulation Groups, Confidence Boosters Groups, and Teacher Check and Connect. Many of the Targeted supports are provided through the Otter Club.

Intensive supports are provided to students who need additional support beyond Targeted supports. Intensive supports are provided in addition to any Targeted supports a students may be receiving. Intensive supports include individualized Behavior Support Plans and Wraparound plans that involve community resources to help the child, family, and school team be more successful.
