What is PBIS?

PBIS Stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. PBIS is a schoolwide system that uses proactive approaches to improve behavior and the overall school climate. PBIS reinforces positive behaviors while providing additional support to those who may need it. We like to recognize and strengthen our students; we love to include our teachers in the reinforcements!
