Garrison-Jones Elementary School
Positive Behavior Support
Positive Behavior
Support (PBS) gives people a new way to think about behavior. PBS is
the application of evidence-based strategies and systems to assist
schools to increase academic performance, increase safety, decrease
problem behavior, and establish positive school culture. PBS results in
effective school-wide processes and procedures, as well as
individualized intervention plans that will impede problem behaviors,
teach new skills, and create support systems for the student.
Garrison-Jones began PBS during the 2010-2011 school year with the
implementation of our Guidelines for Success, also known as our
school-wide expectations. Those expectations are referred to as Pioneer PRIDE.
Pioneer PRIDE
Participate Safely
Make Responsible Choices
Interact with Respect
Do Your Best
Enjoy Everyone's Success
All teachers and staff use PRIDE Passes
to reinforce students demonstrating Pioneer PRIDE. Throughout the year,
students can exchange their PRIDE passes for various things, including
prizes and parties. Ask your child to share what they know about
Pioneer PRIDE and PRIDE Passes.
