Let's have a GREAT week!

Health Class- Project Based Learning

PBIS
Behaviors we want to see from our students.
- Respect yourself, others and property. (Respectful)
- Maintain a safe and clean environment. (Safe)
- Engage in productive work. (Responsible)
What is PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives.
