PBIS

Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is a process to create a safe, positive, and productive learning environment for all children. During the 2023-2024 school year, Sierra staff reflected on data and engaged in new learning around our PBIS practices. This resulted in a change to our schoolwide behavior expectations. We believe that we can effectively connect any addressed behaviors to our new expectations reflecting Safe, Respectful, and Responsible in a natural, logical way.

• Is the behavior safe?

• Is the behavior respectful?

• Is the behavior responsible?

Beginning the 2024-2025 school year, Sierra will be teaching students that "Sabertooths ROAR by being Safe, Respectful, and Responsible."

Rewards and celebrations will continue to 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! 

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 ROAR expectations to reinforce student behavior at home.

-Talk to your student about what these behavior expectations look like at home and in the community.
