This program is managed by the school's Positive Behavior Support Team
Information For The School Community
In a systematic and individualized support system the students function within a positive and safe academic, social, and emotional setting. PBS offers an ongoing evaluation of effective programming using individualized student positive techniques and strategies formulated using data-based decision making.
The Positive Behavior Support (PBS) approach improves:
Teacher - Student Relations
Student - Student Relations
School - Family Relations
School - Community Relations
Within the school environment a focus on preventing behavior problems rather than reacting to problems is encouraged. Emphasis is placed on being proactive and positive rather than reactive and punitive. Research shows that appropriate behavior contributes to academic success.
The entire support staff is functioning as a team in planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of your child's progress.
