What is PBIS?

• Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports is a proactive systems approach to establishing the behavior supports and social culture needed for all students to achieve social, emotional, and academic success.

Why PBIS?

• At Williams Bay Elementary School, we are using PBIS as a process for creating a safer and more effective school. PBIS focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students.

The purpose of implementing PBIS at Williams Bay Elementary School is to:

• establish a consistent method of addressing student behaviors
• reward/acknowledge children for appropriate behaviors
• decrease off-task behavior
• increase and gain back instructional minutes
• improve our school’s ability to teach positive behavior for all students in all settings

Ways to Help at Home

• Talk to your child about his/her day • Keep communication between you and your child’s teacher active throughout the year • Focus on the positive choices your child is making

• Find ways to practice positive behavior and expectations at home and in community • Teach your children to speak respectfully to others and to use manners • Practice positive phrases with your child such as: thank you, please, excuse me, and I’m sorry

Classroom Expectations: These are general. Teachers will also collaborate with students to develop classroom expectations specific to their classroom.

Building Expectations: If your child is moved to another table at lunch, please talk to your child about what caused them to be moved.
