Positive Behavior Support Intervention (PBIS) Plan promotes appropriate behavior among all students and reduce or eliminate problem behaviors that interfere with learning and adversely affect academic achievement. The theory behind PBIS is that in order to change problem behavior you must teach expected behavior and then positively reinforce that behavior.

PAW LAWS

Respectful, Responsible, Safe and Ready to Learn.

The elementary (K-5) uses "PAW LAWS' which promotes students to be "Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Ready to Learn".

ROAR

Respectful, Optimistic, Appropriate, Responsible

The Middle and High School grades (6-12) theme is Panthers ROAR.

The expected behaviors for both elementary and secondary levels are posted around the school. In order to teach expected behaviors, the staff put together our theme and our Expected Behaviors Matrix.  The PBIS matrix of behavior expectations for elementary and secondary help students learn what expected behaviors "look" like in various contexts. The staff and students learn the language and procedures of our PBIS program. Pickford Public Schools is more productive place for our students.

Positive Reenforcement: To reinforce expected behaviors, the staff is working on specifically complementing expected behaviors (thank you for showing respect by removing your hat when you entered the building.)    We are also handing out Paw Law / ROAR tickets (like “Caught Doing Something Good”) and will have a periotic drawing for small prizes. 

Student of the Month for each grade level from Kindergarten through Seniors. We will holding a monthly celebration for all elementary students who meet the criteria for that month. Middle and High School students receive a free lunch at a local restaurant.

Panther Power Ticket is handed out to students in the Middle and High School that are taught doing something to ROAR about. The ticket is put into a drawing for gift cards to local businesses.

Inappropriate Behavior

If a student is behaving inappropriately, they are given a discipline referral.  There are two types of referrals, major and minor. 

Minor Referral results in a contact to the parent to inform them of the behavior. 

Major Referrals and their consequences will be handled in the office.

All referral information is stored in a data base.  We are ability to compile and study the data and determine what behavior interventions we need to put in place.

If you have any questions about PBIS, the Paw Laws, or the "Restore the ROAR" campaign,  please feel free to call the office, 906-647-6285.
