PBIS & HOUSE TEAMS
PBIS Schoolwide Expectations & House Teams
Lexington Park Elementary is a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) School.Throughout these first weeks of school, our staff is teaching, modeling, and providing opportunities for our students to show they CARE every day in all settings throughout our school. The poster illustrates our four expectations. Join us in showing each other how much we CARE!
To better support Panda Nation in building stronger and deeper connections throughout our school, we will refine & expand our five cross grade level house teams. These five house teams bring scholars and staff Pre-K to 5th grade together to create connections and build community. This year's first House Team Meeting is Monday, October 7th. Stay tuned for pictures!
Scholars earn points for their house each day they come to school, demonstrate positive behaviors, exhibit good work habits, work hard, show academic growth, and be a good friend- just to name a few. Houses will earn quarterly recognitions and celebrate each other's accomplishments!
