“The Role of the Family”
What is SW-PBIS?
• A school-wide system for managing student behavior
to support academic achievement and create a
positive culture within our school community
• It consists of a two-fold framework with positive
responses to appropriate student behavior along
with a disciplinary response for misbehavior
Rewards
for appropriate
behavior
Consequences
for inappropriate
behavior
Why SW-PBIS?
Schools that establish SWPBIS with fidelity have teaching
and learning environments that are
• Less reactive, dangerous, and exclusionary
• More engaging, responsive, preventive, and productive
SWPBIS helps teachers
• Address classroom management and disciplinary issues
• Improve supports for students whose behaviors require
more specialized assistance
Most importantly, SWPBIS maximizes academic
engagement and achievement for all students.
How do Students know what
is Appropriate Behavior?
• The 4 school rules are displayed prominently
around the building
• All Staff and Students are clearly instructed in
the expectations at the beginning of the year
and when student behavior falls short of
expectations
What do the Rewards look
like?
• Weekly Drawings for small prizes from
flex/homeroom classes
• Mighty Mounties Club – prizes given when
the board is filled
• Student Reward Day – fun activities once a
marking period
What about inappropriate
behavior?
• Students are re-taught the appropriate
behaviors individually or in small groups
• Parents are contacted to discuss the issue and
ideas for improvement
• Loss of privileges
• Detentions or In-School Suspension
Tiered response
How do Parents fit in?
• Teens don’t think like us…
– Teens are more concerned with
the present than the future
– Teens don’t process risk and reward calculations
the same way adults do
– The peer group takes on added influence in the
decision-making process
BUT, you still have a VERY
important role to play!
Here’s How You
Can Help
• Be a good role model. You are still the
most important influence in your
child’s life
• Give respect to get respect. Listen and
acknowledge your child’s feelings and
point of view
• Keep the lines of communication open
at all times
• Reinforce the Mountie Pride behavior
expectations at home
