During the first few days of school, students were trained in our Positive Behavior Support system. The purpose of PBS is to teach kids to behave in appropriate ways so that they will have a positive school experience and mature into responsible adults as well. We teach kids to be respectful, responsible, peaceful, problem-solving learners.
During the first three days of school, students were trained in all common areas of the building including the hallways, the playground, the restrooms, the cafeteria and the bus. Students rotated to each area where staff members used role-playing and humor as they showed students how not to behave and how to behave in those various areas. Students had fun and learned a lot as well. We will continue to reinforce these behaviors on our live morning announcements and with follow-up trainings throughout the year.
When you're in the building, be sure to check out our PBS posters throughout the building. One of our Art teachers, Mrs. Denise Roberts, illustrated the posters to give our non-readers a visual reminder of the rules. I'm sure you'll agree that they look great.
As part of PBS, students can earn "hot tickets" from any staff member for demonstrating great behavior. Each class will draw one "hot ticket" from their class bucket on Friday and winning students will be recognized on the live morning announcements and receive a small prize. There will also be monthly rewards for students showing positive behavior all month.
