Pleasant Valley PBIS Updates
2022-23 School Year Mid Year Update
Our mission is to empower and inspire a community of lifelong learners and leaders!
Here at Pleasant Valley Elementary we continue to be committed to PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports). At the beginning of the school year, we spend time going over all of the expectations with students (see Matrix below). We also focused on specific areas during our first two quarterly spirit assemblies. As we prepare for the second half of the school year, these expectations will be reviewed again by the teachers utilizing our school wide PBIS lesson plans.
Students continue to be expected to follow the common area expectations and are positively reinforced when doing so through the use of our "Starbucks". Click HERE to view our opening PBIS Expectations presentation for the 2022-23 school year!
Throughout each day, students are able to earn "Starbucks" (our building currency) in all of the common areas outlined in our matrix. Those "Starbucks" are entered into a classroom drawing and then an office drawing where students have several opportunities to be recognized for their positive behavior. You may hear your students talking about the "Friday Five" or the "Weekly Starbuck Winners" or even the "Monthly Starbuck Winners".
Pleasant Valley received the silver designation from the state of Ohio in 2022. This means that our Tier 1 and Tier 2 programs meet state PBIS requirements and have been implemented successfully. To learn more about PBIS in the State of Ohio, click HERE!
We are proud of the work that was done to solidify our Tier 2 services for students in the building. These include check in/check out, adult mentors, alternate recess plans, Stars & Patriots mentoring, friendship groups, Guidestone services, etc. If you feel that your child would benefit from additional support, please reach out to their teacher.

"STAR" Expectations
Celebrating Success at Pleasant Valley
Weekly...
- Ten Starbucks (2 per grade level) are drawn and students receive a token to choose a free book from our vending machine.
- Five students from each class are recognized as the teachers "Friday Five" and are celebrated in each individual classroom differently.
- We draw two Starbucks from the bucket that is kept all month long. Those students each get to invite a friend to enjoy a McDonald's lunch with the principals.
- Each teacher nominates a rockSTAR of the Month. We congratulate all students who were chosen for the first half of the school year! Each of them received yard signs, certificates, and ice cream with the principals!
Quarterly...
- We celebrate with a spirit assembly. Teachers volunteer to participate in Minute to Win it games with their students, PBIS expectations are reviewed, and we come together as a building with our "S-T-A-R-S" chant!
- At the assembly, we choose two Starbucks that have been saved in our quarterly bin and they earn large prizes. So far, we have awarded 2-$100 dinner and a movie gift cards, and 2-$100 Chuck E. Cheese gift cards!
