Positive Behavior Instructional Support
 The PBIS program strives to provide consistent building wide expectations
for all students using common language. The goal of PBIS is to recognize
and reinforce positive behavior in students. Our school’s recognition
system is both individual and group focused.
 This year, our building is in Tier 2 which means we will focus more on
individual student interventions.
