Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is a process to create a safe, positive, and productive learning environment for all children.
At our school, we use the acronym GRIT! Growth Mindset, Responsibility, Integrity, and Teamwork.
Rewards and celebrations occur in classrooms and throughout the building to let students know that we see how amazing they are and how hard they are working every day to model these behavior expectations!
At Creighton Middle School, we use a variety of supports to help create positive behavior for our students. We expect our students to be respectful to all adults and peers before, during, and after school. CMS uses a reward system of "Cougar Cash". With a beautiful drawing by a former student, the Cougar Cash comes in $1, $5, $10, and $20. For every good behavior teachers see, students are rewarded with Cougar Cash. Students can use the Cougar Cash for school supplies, monthly drawings, socials, and auction items at the end of the year.
How can you support your student at home?
-A core principle of PBIS that you can use at home is the 5:1 rule. For every corrective statement made, provide five positive statements or praises of your child's behavior.
-Use your schools acronym and expectations to reinforce student behavior at home
-Talk to your student about what these behavior expectations look like at home and in the community
