With CLEAR expectations of behavior:

Students have classroom instruction based on their school-wide behavior expectations, which they then have opportunities to be rewarded for!
Staff's at our PBIS schools have come up with some wonderful incentives to help teach these expectations, including:
-
-
-
-
- Special seating privileges during lunch
- A skip-the-lunch-line pass
- Merchandise from a PBIS school store
- Opportunities to have a special treat with their Principal, Teacher, or other favorite staff member
- Raffles
- School-wide acknolwedgement of great decision making!
...just to name a few!
***Ask your Teacher, Para, Principal, Secretary, Custodian, Cateria staff or anyone else in the school about positive behavior incentives in your school, for more information!***

As with anything else worth doing in this world, PBIS takes a lot of time, commitment and extra hours.
That means we aren't rushing anyone in the process! Rolling out PBIS across the entire district is such
a big commitment that it will take extra effort from staff, students, family and the greater community over
the next few years to accomplish! If you like what you see here, and are interested in helping to bring PBIS
into your school, please look directly below at the contact information for the District PBIS Coach, and let her know!
