Some people might be wondering, ‘what is PBIS and how does it have to do for us as students?’.
PBIS stands for, ‘Positive Behavior Intervention and Support’.
Why does the school have PBIS? The school gives to students who display positive actions. This is a way for the school to show appreciation for their good behavior.
PBIS helps influence students to want to do better and take care of their school. It helps teachers be able to give out incentives and show students that they are being seen and that their effort is a big help.
Ms. Goff says “ it’s a way of rewarding students that are being safe, respectful, responsible, and a learner.
This means that giving out PBIS incentives helps the school become better and the learning process better for teachers as well as students.
Krissy, a student at Hazelwood East High, said, “ So many people are getting in trouble this will be a great way to encourage them and to put them in the school spirit.”
