2019-2020 PBiS Goal

2019-2020 PBiS Goal

Did you know that as of February 4, 2020, 89% of our students have one or fewer behavior referrals? 414 out of out 464 students have received one or fewer behavior referrals for discipline thanks to our school-wide support and commitment to PBiS (Positive Behavior Intervention & Supports)! Our students are making great choices and learning quickly to avoid repeating bad ones!


Our overall goal is to have 85% or more of our kids receive one or fewer minor/major behavior referrals this school year. We are on track to meet that ambitious and worthwhile goal!

Who is Implementing PBiS?

Everyone… faculty and staff. We encourage everyone to recognize positive and appropriate behaviors. We encourage everyone to recognize the students in your classroom, hallways, restrooms, cafeteria, playground and during arrival/dismissal. This is your opportunity to catch students doing something right!
