PBIS Kicks-Off at MCSIS!

Be respectful, be responsible and be safe. These are three behavioral expectations set forth at MCSIS this past month during a kick-off event for PBIS. PBIS or Positive Behavior Interventions and Support is a national program that creates a school wide initiative of clearly defined behavioral expectations for all students. PBIS uses a team-based approach to encourage and reward good behavior.

Each day, in every class, students will learn strategies on how to display these positive behaviors. Students will begin the program by focusing on practicing these behaviors in the hallways. Throughout the year these behavioral expectations will extend throughout the school.

Students who actively practice these behaviors will be awarded a “Hawk Hooray” ticket. Each week Hawk-Hooray’s will be collected and entered into a raffle. Four students will be rewarded with prizes such as passes to the Skate Factory or free slushies from the school cafeteria.
