PBIS

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.

Here is the link to the PAWsitive Google form that you fill out for when students are doing the expectations.

In an effort to expand our PBIS initiative, the NMS PBIS committee is shifting from “Lunch Legends” to “PAWsitive Rewards” in order to reward positive behaviors across settings, not just in the cafeteria.

Teachers, administrators, and other school staff will be able to identify students who exhibit positive behaviors using a google form. Monthly, Mrs. Enos will email parents and students the PAWsitive Reward “ticket,” generated by the Google Form to reinforce the positive behavior. In addition, when teachers report the students’ names in the google form, they will be automatically entered into the drawing for PAWsitive rewards prizes. Teachers can give students a PAWsitive reward for meeting classroom, hallway, or cafeteria behavior expectations, as indicated by the behavior matrices for each setting. When teachers fill out the form, they should refer to the language used in the behavior matrices.

Like Lunch Legends, the PAWsitive Rewards Initiative will work like a raffle. Each week, 2 students from each grade level will be randomly selected for a small prize. Their names will be announced over the loudspeaker (like Tiger Stripe recipients are), and they will have the opportunity to select a small prize from the prize bucket. Once a month, students who have received PAWsitive Rewards will be entered into a raffle for a larger prize, provided by the NMS PTA.

Here is a link to a Google Form where you can recognize a fellow staff member for their hard work. Recognitions will be shared with staff, and will be randomly selected to be featured in the PBIS staff newsletter.
