Positive Behavior Support Intervention Support is designed to benefit students, staff, and parents.

Students benefit from a predictable environment where they know exactly what is expected of them to be successful, both academically and behaviorally.

Staff benefits from having a structured approach that outlines the practices and systems that define the social culture of that school.

Parents benefit from knowing at the beginning of the school year what the expectations will be for their child.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is PBIS for every student?

PBIS is for all students, all staff, and every area in the school.

2. Why do schools need to do this?

Historically, detention, loss of privileges, suspensions, exclusions, and counseling have been used to attempt to help students. These interventions were often ineffective.

As schools implement PBIS, they develop a clear set of positive expectations and behaviors that are taught through classroom instruction and rewarded throughout the school. Students learn that all staff members will hold them accountable to the same expectations.

3. Does PBIS mean students will not be punished for misbehavior?

No. Schools will encourage positive behaviors, and the students will still be held accountable for their behaviors.

4. What are Tiger Stripes?

Students will earn Tiger Stripes from all staff members for demonstrating PRIDE expectations throughout the school day and throughout the school building.

Students who earn Tiger Stripes will have the opportunity to participate in weekly prize drawings and quarterly celebrations.
