What is PBS? (Positive Behavior Supports)
All students and staff are taught school wide expectations with regular and frequent opportunities
to practice them and be acknowledged when they use them.
Interactions between students and staff focus on positive as opposed to negative reinforcement
Staff uses data to make decisions regarding school behavior expectations
A PBS school provides consistent rewards and interventions for all students
Rewards will be an ongoing stage that may change depending on what our school needs.
