PBIS MONTHLY UPDATES

PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) is used to improve school safety and promote positive behavior at Canterbury Elementary School.

At its heart, PBIS calls on teachers to teach kids about behavior, just as they would teach about any other subject—like reading or math. PBIS recognizes that kids can only meet behavior expectations if they know what the expectations are specifically. An indicator of a school using PBIS is that everyone knows what’s appropriate behavior. Throughout the school day—in class, at lunch, and on the bus—kids understand what’s expected of them.

As we get the school year started we want the kids to have time to socialize and learn appropriate expectations. Lunch and recess can be a tricky time for some kids. ALL the teachers are working hard to make sure the kids have fun and are safe during this time. The big 3 expectations we are talking about at school are BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL, AND BE RESPONSIBE. If you tiger is able to show safe, respectful and responsible behavior they will be earning class DOJO points.

Also, the kids will be watching videos about MoJo, a Class DOJO character who experiences different struggles and why to solve them. There are a lot of awesome MoJo videos if you would like to support this work at home and continue this conversation about be safe, respectful, and responsible.

Next we will be reviewing hallway expectations. Students are already doing a great job walking in the hallways.
