Expectations

The school has a set of expectations for student behavior that will be taught to all students and recognized. These expectations apply to all areas of the school, including the classroom, hallways, lunchroom, and bus.

· Goal

The goal of PBIS is to create a positive school environment where students feel safe and can learn and grow.

· Teaching

Students are taught the school-wide expectations through examples and non-examples of appropriate behavior.

· Rewards

Students are rewarded with Raider Bucks for demonstrating expected behaviors by any staff member.

If you would like to volunteer or donate to our PBIS program, please contact Donna Cook at 793-3131, Ext. 8221

Through our partnership with Varsity Tutors for Schools, South Sumter High School students can now use 24/7 On-Demand Chat Tutoring. When help is needed, connect with a highly qualified expert tutor, day or night.
