Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
Greenwood Elementary School implements Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Students are taught behavioral expectations within the classroom and school setting. The goal is to reinforce high expectations for all students.
The purpose of PBIS is to:
- Support positive behavior to maximize academic achievement for all students;
- Acknowledge appropriate behavior and behavioral expectations;
- Create a positive experience for ALL students; and
- Provide students with opportunities to learn from appropriate behaviors, rather than punitively assign consequences for negative behaviors.
Our expectations for ALL students are:
- Be responsible,
- Be respectful, and
- Be safe.
We are committed to providing an engaging and comprehensive education to support student success academically, behaviorally, and socially. We welcome our Greenwood students to experience education in a welcoming student-centered learning environment.
