STUDENT BEHAVIOR APPROACH – BE EXCELLENT!
Our School has adopted a PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Strategies) model in terms of positive behavior reinforcement. It reinforces positive behaviors and sets expectations of how a student should behave in all areas of the school. Teaching students to be productive citizens is a focus each school year. Self-discipline is one of the ultimate goals of education. We expect all students to strive to gain knowledge of their individual abilities. It is also expected of all students that they allow their fellow classmates every opportunity to maximize their potential.
All students will be given many re-teaching opportunities until the desired behavior is learned while still engaging in a logical consequence for the behavior. Our expectations of students grow as a student’s maturity evolves.
