PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. At JTPS, we implement our PBIS program around three core values, the 3Rs: Ready, Respectful, and Responsible. When students are noticed following these expectations, they receive a GOTCHA along with specific feedback, such as, "I like the way you are sharing your materials at your table. You are showing respect." Students collect their GOTCHAs throughout the month and redeem them for a variety of rewards at the end of each month.

We hold several PBIS assemblies throughout the school year to celebrate our successes, promote engagement and motivate students, and to set goals for the remainder of the school year.

Each day, we sing our school song and recite our school pledge to remind ourselves of our intentions to follow the 3Rs.

We are thoughtful, kind, and gentle,
We are strong and we are brave,
