PBIS

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an approach to teaching and supporting positive behavior and meeting the needs of ALL students.  This school-wide approach to discipline focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students can learn.

The foundation of PBIS is to “Build Exceptional Students” by following the four building-wide expectations:

In addition to our behavior expectations

• Prepared
• Act responsibly
• Work as a team
• Show respect

, PBIS has three other components:

1. A behavior matrix, which explains behavior expectations in each school setting
2. direct teaching of the expectations
3. positive recognition
