Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports/Multi-Tiered System of Supports Newsletter
What is a PBIS and/or MTSS?
Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS) is an organized framework that supports school staff in their efforts to move from a reactive to a proactive approach to behavioral interventions.
Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is also known as Response to Intervention or RtI. This is an every-education decision-making framework of evidence-based practices in instruction and assessment that addresses the needs of all students.HOW DOES IT WORK?
The PBIS/MTSS team consist of members from the administration, central office personnel, staff, parent, and student population. The team meets approximately six to eight times a year to review school academic and behavioral data. The team makes recommendations to ensure that all student needs are being addressed adequately. Meeting minutes are shared at least once a quarter during Staff and PTA meetings.
How can you help at home?
How do we help our children self-regulate?
Calming strategies used by primary students to self-regulate their emotions. These strategies help children solve problems through regulating and managing their emotions when they become upset or frustrated. You can learn more about these strategies from the authors of Conscious Discipline.
What is a PBIS ticket?
You have probably heard your child tell you about all those PBIS/golden tickets that they receive at school. What are they you ask? These tickets are distributed to student by any staff member in the school building as an acknowledgment of students exhibiting respectful, responsible and/or ready to learn behaviors. Drawings occur once a week (2 students per grade level) and announced over the morning news. Students are rewarded with something from the PBIS prize box or an activity with a staff member. Activities could include things like; making crafts, decorating cookies, making bookmarks, or painting ornaments, etc. Please encourage your child to continue to follow our 3 school rules.
