Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe

What is PBIS?
PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports) is a framework designed to create a safe, respectful and positive learning environment. This puts focus on the prevention of problem behavior and teaching appropriate social-emotional development. This helps improve school achievement and social-emotional competence. School wide PBIS increases the capacity of our school to educate all students utilizing research-based school-wide, classroom, and individualized interventions. If warranted, some students may benefit from additional reteaching opportunities and natural, restoritive consequences throughout the year.
Main Components of PBIS
1. School Wide Committment
2. Positive Expectations and Behaviors
3. Procedures for teaching and encouraging expected behaviors
4. Procedures for discouraging unexpected behaviors
5. Data-driven decision making
6. Prevention and Celebration
The routines that students learn at school can carry over to promote positive behavior outside of school. You, as parents, play an influential role within the PBIS framework by becoming involved within our school setting and supporting our 3 B’s-be respectful, be responsible, and be safe. Your continued support is greatly appreciated!
1. Encourage your child to earn as many stamps on their stamp card as possible.
2. Use any behavioral situation as a learning experience by discussing positive choices and natural consequences.
3. Help celebrate successes as we do in school on a daily/monthly basis!
4. Keep lines of communication between school and home open. We are here to work together to provide the best learning environment for each child.
We are always trying to catch students making positive choices by rewarding students with stamps on their Stamp Card. Students are awarded stamps throughout the school day as a form of positive recognition for demonstrating any of our 3 B’s. Our regular celebrations vary throughout the year ranging from an extra recess to school wide bingo. We love celebrating our wonderful accomplishments!
Just like we teach academics, PBIS provides us a platform to also address the social/emotional needs of our students. On a regular basis students, with their classroom teachers, will participate in various lessons and role playing activities. They will proactively be taught ways to deal with various social situations that support PBIS using a Social Emotional Learning curriculum.
