PBIS

POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS AND SUPPORTS (PBIS)

PBIS is a school wide approach to  promote positive and pro-social behavior to maximize success for all students.

We strive for each student and each staff member to be an individual who "ROARS with Pride."  ROARS stands for:

Respect
Others
Act
Responsibly and
Safely

PBIS at Newaygo Elementary is a tiered framework that incorporates many different approaches and techniques that guide our interactions with one another.  Our school wide expectations provide overarching guidelines that then filter throughout all other areas of the building.  Strategies such as restorative practices, social emotional learning, trauma informed care, behavior modification, and even some aspects of traditional school discipline all contribute to encouraging appropriate and discouraging inappropriate behavior.
