OUR PBIS PLAN

​

​

• Will provide a common language so that all students and teachers understand the expectations of our school.

​

​

Please practice this with your child…

🟥 Time Out

• ⭐ Non-verbal signal to gain attention�
• ⭐ Students mimic the signal to let others know it’s time to regroup�
• ⭐ Uses both hands, which helps limit distractions from hand-held items (e.g., phones or toys)

​

HOW WILL WE DO THIS?

We will use our PAWS tickets for positive reinforcement.

🐾 PAWS Ticket Distribution Guidelines

• Each day, 10 staff members will receive 1 PAWS ticket.�
• Tickets are placed in staff mailboxes (boxes) on the day they are to be used.�

INCENTIVES

• Students will receive a positive message home.
• Once a line hits, on the principal’s 100 board, those students will receive a party and will be announced on the morning broadcast.
