PBIS
Positive Behavior Intervention and Support
What is PBIS?
At Emerson-Williams Elementary School, we work very hard to deliberately teach all of our students the expected behaviors in every area of our school building. We have developed a clear matrix of what these expected behaviors are. Our school-wide core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Safety guide our students as they work hard to meet our expectations for behavior and academic effort. We strive each and every day to help our students develop self-discipline, and accept personal responsibility for their own actions. Throughout the school year, our students may earn special Tiger Paws of Recognition, individual awards at Town Hall Meetings, and admittance into social events if they show us they can demonstrate the expected behaviors in all areas of our school building.
