Townsend Jr. High

PBIS is a process for creating safer and more effective schools. The process focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students. Rather than a prescribed program, PBIS provides systems for schools to design, implement, and evaluate effective school-wide, classroom, non-classroom, and student specific discipline plans. PBIS includes school-wide procedures and processes intended for:

• ALL students, ALL staff and in ALL settings
• Non-classroom settings within the school environment
• Individual classrooms and teachers, and
• Individual student supports for the estimated 3-7% of students who present the most challenging behaviors.

Townsend Jr. High earned the highest recognition that a school can get for the 2023-2024 school year. Please give the staff and students a round of applause for their hard work in receiving PLATINUM Recognition!

We have established expectations for all areas of our school. The expectations are taught to the students at the beginning of the year and revisited many times throughout the year. The matrices are posted in the areas as well as being available to view on the website and in the student handbook. We invite you to follow the link by clicking on the title "Our School Matrix" and review the expectations.

At Townsend Jr. High we are committed to supporting students with Positive Behavior Choices. In the event that students choose not to follow the Schoolwide Expectations, staff members will use the Behavior Management Flowchart to determine how to best address the negative behaviors.

The chart below is being shared with the Townsend community in an effort to be transparent about the most commonly addressed discipline incidents from the first Trimester. Please continue to encourage your student to follow the schoolwide expectations. Please refer to the Parent Student Handbook on the Townsend website for more information. https://www.chino.k12.ca.us/Domain/2629

Townsend Tickets are earned by students for following the schoolwide expectations: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe. Students may use their tickets to purchase items at the Snack Shack on Tuesdays and Thursdays, enter drawings for prizes, and make purchases at schoolwide events such as the Fall Festival.

The PBIS Team just completed our first Internal TFI for the 2024 - 2025 school year. The results are shown below as compared to previous years.
