“Life Skills, Positive Behavior, Student Celebrations”

***Our PBIS Expectations provide our students with the goals for “Being Safe, Being Respectful, and Being Responsible” at Bennie. These goals focus on the following areas: our classrooms, hallways, lunchroom, playground, restrooms, and arrival/dismissal. These are great items to review with your students at home. We have a monthly focus area and celebrate our students monthly with ACE Awards!

*** To go along with our PBIS Program at Bennie, we have also implemented the “Bennie Beliefs”. These are important life skills that will help our bobcats with establishing goals both academically and socially. Each month we will recognize 4 students at Bennie from each classroom. 2 students will be recognized for going above and beyond for the monthly “Belief” and 2 students will be recognized for overall amazing PBIS behaviors for our “ACE AWARDS”. These students will be awarded their certificates at monthly celebrations and recognized on our Bennie Facebook page.
