PBIS
Welcome, Families, to Our Creekside PBIS Community!
At Creekside, we believe every student deserves a positive and supportive learning environment where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. That's why we're proud to implement Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a school-wide framework designed to foster a safe, respectful, and engaging atmosphere for all.
What is PBIS All About?
You might be wondering, "What exactly is PBIS?" In brief, PBIS is a proactive approach to fostering a positive school culture. Instead of just reacting to challenging behaviors, we focus on teaching and reinforcing expected behaviors in all areas of the school. Think of it like this: just as we teach reading and math, we also explicitly teach students how to be respectful, responsible, and safe.
How Does PBIS Help Your Child Succeed?
PBIS plays a vital role in helping your child reach their full potential by:
- Promoting Academic Growth: When students feel safe and supported, they're better able to focus on learning, participate in class, and achieve their academic goals.
- Nurturing Social Skills: PBIS helps students develop essential social-emotional skills, such as empathy, problem-solving, and effective communication, preparing them for positive interactions both inside and outside of school.
- Fostering Emotional Well-being: By creating a predictable and positive environment, PBIS helps reduce stress and anxiety, enabling students to feel more confident and emotionally secure. This supportive atmosphere encourages self-regulation and resilience.
Celebrating Success with PBIS Events and Our PBIS Store!
We love to celebrate our students' positive choices and hard work! Throughout the year, we host monthly PBIS events that recognize and reward students for demonstrating our school-wide expectations. These events are a fun way to build community and reinforce positive behaviors.
In addition, students have the exciting opportunity to earn [mention what they earn, e.g., "school-wide tickets," "praise slips"] for following our PBIS expectations. They can then use these to "purchase" items at our very own PBIS Store! This incentive program helps reinforce positive behavior in a tangible and engaging way.
We are excited to partner with you in creating a truly exceptional learning experience for your child through Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!
