PBIS Kick-off Challenge

During the week of September 12-16, we will be jumpstarting the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support program (PBIS) here at school. We will spend the week discussing PBIS and our expectations. At various times, we will quiz the students on their knowledge our of school-wide expectations. Prizes such as Dress Down passes, drinks, candy and other treats will be awarded to those who participate.

You can help by asking your student to tell you about the Declaration, The Business and PBIS. These concepts are the foundation for what makes WIN...WIN!!!
