My Project

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, or PBIS, is a proactive approach that schools like ours use to improve safety and promote positive behavior. As teachers continue to award "Paw Points" (our school's currency) to students exhibiting exceptional behavior, students will redeem these points for prizes.

PBIS empowers students to play a vitally important role in their education.

By establishing school-wide expectations, students can focus on improving academic performance. The footballs, stress balls, kickballs, mini whiteboards, and other items requested will be added to the PBIS Paw Store to encourage students to participate and get excited about school. Donating to this project will help keep our students engaged in the classroom and reinforce positive behaviors throughout the halls of our school.
