Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS)
Mission Statement
The mission of PBIS is to promote school unity through the reinforcement of positive behavior and to contribute to safe learning by building citizenship and good character.
PBIS emphasizes school-wide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behavior to create a positive school environment. Attention is focused on turning problem behaviors into desired behaviors.
Our goal is to make Forest Park Elementary School safer, more enjoyable and productive. The design of PBIS is based upon data collected from school discipline records and student/teacher survey results. Our program is designed to teach appropriate behavior expectations as effectively as we teach academic skills.
