We trust you have heard your child talk about Awesome Tags and the reward they bring the class and student. Did you know that Awesome Tags are just one of the many ways we acknowledge our students for demonstrating postive behavior? Our use of Awesome Tags is part of our implementation effort of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a district-wide initiative implemented since 2015. This initiative provides all students with classroom and individual strategies for achieving social and behavioral success. Research has shown that schools that implement PBIS for as little as two years have shown a 73% increase in achievement and they experience lower discipline office referrals. This allows schools to recover hundreds of days of instructional time that had previously been lost to behavioral disruptions. We are proud to announce that out of the 575 students, we monthly average 96% of our students never receiving an office referral and 91% of our students are demonstrating academic growth!
