Positive Behavior

The goal of our school's Positive Behavior Supports and Interventions Program is to continually create an environment:

  • That is proactive, safe and culturally responsive
  • That is built upon a caring school community that welcomes, honors, supports, and builds relationships with diverse learners and families to increase academic and social emotional outcomes for all
  • That supports all students in all environments

  • Ignore
  • Give choices
  • Give a break
  • Take away privileges
