Ride the W.A.V.E.
Dear Dolphin Families,
Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) is an approach to promote and maximize academic achievement and behavioral competence. It is a school-wide strategy for helping all students achieve important social and learning goals because we know that when good behavior and good teaching come together, our students will excel in their learning. The foundation of PBIS at Kenneth Davis is the four school- wide expectations: Wise Choices, A+ Attitude, Values, Effort. Students will “Ride the WAVE” by following these four expectations.
