PBIS - Behavior Expectations
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an approach to teaching and supporting positive behaviors and meeting the needs of ALL students. This school-wide approach to discipline focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students can learn.
The foundation of PBIS at Hill City Elementary School is the three building-wide expectations:
· Be Respectful
· Be Responsible
· Be Safe
Throughout the school year, students will be taught how to behave according to the three expectations. Teachers will help students learn what the expectations “look” and “sound” like in every setting during the school day. These lessons will be re-taught and reinforced throughout the school year, and become a regular part of our instructional program.
Acknowledging and reinforcing positive behavior is one of the best ways to change inappropriate behavior and encourage appropriate behavior. At HCES each student will earn Hawk Bucks for meeting behavior expectations. When classroom goals are met, students will enjoy taking part in classroom celebrations. At the end of the nine weeks, students who do not have more than two classroom referrals or zero office referrals will enjoy participating in principal celebrations.
Even with clear expectations and positive reinforcement, sometimes children will misbehave. Discipline issues are divided into major and minor infractions.
· Major infractions are issues that result in office time. Parents/guardians will always be notified by the principal or teacher about major infractions.
· Minor infractions are behaviors that are disruptive to the learning environment, but are handled by the supervising staff member.
