Positive Behavior Support

Our school has adopted PBIS to encourage positive decision-making and responsible behavior.  The key purposes of PBIS include:

• Development of a continuum of scientifically based behavior and academic interventions and supports
• Use of data to make decisions and solve problems
• Arrangement of the environment to prevent the development and occurrence of problem behavior
• Instruction and encouragement of pro-social skills and behaviors
• Implementation of evidence-based behavioral practices with fidelity and accountability
• Continuous universal screening and monitoring of student performance & progress continuously

The outcomes of PBIS include:

• Less reactive, aversive, dangerous, and exclusionary, and
• More engaging, responsive, preventive, and productive
• Address classroom management and disciplinary issues (e.g., attendance, tardies, antisocial behavior),
• Improve supports for students whose behaviors require more specialized assistance (e.g., emotional and behavioral disorders, mental health), and
• Most importantly, maximize academic engagement and achievement for all students

Students are expected to follow three rules on campus: Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible.
