PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a school wide approach to teaching expected behaviors to students to ensure a safe and respectful learning environment. All staff have undergone significant training about the language and core tenets of PBIS. Integral to the success of this initiative is the belief that all students can be taught expected behaviors and need to be acknowledged when they are being safe, respectful, and responsible and corrected when they are not doing so.
