A poem shared …
Respectful behavior will help friendships grow,
Treat others kindly and your thoughtfulness will show.
Responsible is doing what is expected of you,
Take charge of your learning and your smarts will shine
through.
Safe places feel comfortable and also feel good,
Make choices that you know your role models would.
A positive attitude feeling or word,
Makes someone’s day when it is heard.

“PBIS is well organized and beneficial for well-behaved students.”
“We would like more development of intrinsic behaviors addressing supplemental and
intensive student needs.”
“Easy to remember expectations. The phrase we use is catchy.”
“There needs to be better efficiency of support staff with following through on
guidelines.”
“PBIS creates a positive environment, promotes common language with all, is a good
motivator with most children but doesn’t work for all.”
“Kids love the store and events and appreciate the verbiage to identify what they have
done that’s positive.”
The team does a good job of sending the minutes promptly and that’s informative.”
“I think there should be a way to ensure that everyone is on board and following the
program with fidelity because children may fall through the cracks.”
“Major and minor referrals should be used by everyone to document ALL behavior.”
“PBIS sets clear, standard expectations across the school. Simplified and easy to use.”
“We need to be more consistent with handing out paw prints. We need to continually
educated our staff on how to use paw prints and what to say when handing them out.”
Scheduled events are effective, enjoyed, and well organized.”
“We receive a lot of communication regarding PBIS. The signs are all around the
school and the vocabulary is universally used. Check-In Check-Out is a strength of
PBIS.”
