A poem shared …

Respectful behavior will help friendships grow,Treat others kindly and your thoughtfulness will show.

Responsible is doing what is expected of you,Take charge of your learning and your smarts will shine through.

Safe places feel comfortable and also feel good,Make choices that you know your role models would.

A positive attitude feeling or word,Makes someone’s day when it is heard.

Our Pinewood family is really the best,Our positive behaviors help us stand out from the rest.”

Annual School Survey Teacher Feedback

“PBIS is well organized and beneficial for well-behaved students.” “We would like more development of intrinsic behaviors addressing supplemental

and intensive student needs.” “Easy to remember expectations. The phrase we use is catchy.” “There needs to be better efficiency of support staff with following through on

guidelines.” “PBIS creates a positive environment, promotes common language with all, is a

good motivator with most children but doesn’t work for all.” “Kids love the store and events and appreciate the verbiage to identify what they

have done that’s positive.” The team does a good job of sending the minutes promptly and that’s informative.” “I think there should be a way to ensure that everyone is on board and following

the program with fidelity because children may fall through the cracks.” “Major and minor referrals should be used by everyone to document ALL behavior.” “PBIS sets clear, standard expectations across the school. Simplified and easy to

use.” “We need to be more consistent with handing out paw prints. We need to

continually educated our staff on how to use paw prints and what to say when handing them out.”

school and the vocabulary is universally used. Check-In Check-Out is a strength of PBIS.”
