Dear Parents,

 Browns Valley Elementary has been participating in an important district initiative. It is called Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS). PBIS is a process for creating a safer and more effective school. It is a systems approach, enhancing the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing research-based, school-wide, and classroom behavior support systems. The process focuses on improving a school's ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students. Rather than a prescribed program, PBIS provides systems for schools to design, implement, and evaluate effective school-wide, classroom, non-classroom, and student-specific plans. PBIS is not a program or a curriculum. It is a team-based process for systemic problem solving, planning, and evaluation. It is an approach to creating a safe and productive learning environment where teachers can teach and all students can learn. 

We can't wait to teach you more throughout this school year!
