Why PBIS?

As part of the research-based PBIS process, we do the following when teaching academics:

  1. Explicitly teach and refer to our school-wide expectations.

  2. Provide students with more praise, using a positive tone of voice rather than correction.

  3. Use pre-correcting, prompting and redirecting during teaching.

  4. Look for the positives first, providing immediate, frequent and explicit feedback.

  5. Provide students opportunities to set and monitor goals based on their behavioral needs.

The Fox Cub Way:

We have a unified set of school-wide expectations and procedures for all areas in our school. These expectations define our attitude towards behavior, and are visible throughout the school, promoting “THe Fox Cub Way” of being READY, RESPECTFUL and RESPONSIBLE. Our teachers and staff align our practices with our Essential Eights. These eight themes are about how students should be expected to behave as learners .
