PBIS
What is PBIS?
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support is an evidence-based systems approach to preventing and responding to school and classroom discipline problems. PBIS teaches positive behaviors in the school setting, reinforces these behaviors, and creates a safe learning environment for ALL of our students.
Students will be taught positive behaviors and character education throughout the school year. Lessons will be presented during a monthly 22 minute extended Home Base. These lessons will align with skills being taught through the character education curriculum.
