that even the most challenging students are compliant about 80% of the time.

Students must be taught these five expectations before they can be held accountable for following them.
Students must also practice these five expectations on a regular basis or they WILL forget or choose not to
do them. Teachers must be consistent, while insisting that students demonstrate the expectations, and persist
when learning errors occur. Students can learn it and every instructor must teach it. The PBIS team has
provided every teacher with the resources and plans needed to teach the school-wide expectations in every
area of our campus. Although we have designated the first ten (10) days of school as the beginning of
teaching school wide expectations and procedures, this teaching and practice MUST continue until the last
day of school. If teachers only teach expectations and procedures for the first ten (10) days of school,
without continuing to re-teach and reinforce the five expectations, negative student behavior will
characterize our school community. We must systematically and corporately teach, re-teach and reinforce
the school-wide expectations in every area of our school.
month at 2:45 pm. You are cordially invited to join the PBIS team or attend any of our team meetings. Your
input and suggestions for improvement are also welcome.
With a completed and legible written referral, administrators will handle consequences for major
misbehaviors.
Share and collaborate with your PLC and/or grade level team about individual struggles and
individual successes.
Respectfully and professionally, hold each other accountable for upholding PRIDE expectations.
Physical environment is arranged to prevent congestion, minimize distractions, allow easy traffic
flow
All class attention-getting signal is used effectively
Regular use of 0, 1, 2, 3 cue cards
Informal and Formal Systems of Positive Reinforcement
4 to 1 ratio of positives to corrections is consistently used for all students
Classroom and/or school-wide reward system is implemented daily
Active Supervision
If a student needs to be removed from the classroom as a minor intervention, he/she may be
bumped across teams or content area on the same grade. Without major disruption, ask the
student to take his/her work and a reflection sheet (included) to the designated classroom.
Without disrupting class, student should sit quietly away from others and complete work
along with the reflection sheet.
Teacher should determine the length of time the student is to remain with other class, but no
longer than the remaining class period.
After time is up, student returns with assigned work and reflection sheet completed. If neither
is completed, teacher may determine the next course of action/intervention.
In respect of the student and process, please read and respond to the reflection sheet. Signed
reflection sheets should be managed on team.
To maintain integrity of PBIS and respect of colleagues, do not abuse the bumping system. A
teacher has the right to refuse chronic misbehaved students for bumping, or if timing creates a
conflict. If repeated bumping does not workSTOP doing it! As a team, decide next steps.
PRIDE SYSTEM
Githens school-wide behavior incentive system is called the PRIDE System. Its purpose is to encourage and
reinforce appropriate behavior in a fun, positive way.

Grade level Administrative Referral (along with 3 previous
pink copies of minor referrals)
In the first semester (September through mid-January), when a student has earned the right to attend three
PRIDE Parties and has no administrative referrals, students will be allowed to go on a PRIDE fieldtrip at
the end of the semester. In the second semester (mid January through May), if a student has earned the right
to attend three PRIDE Parties and has no administrative referrals, they will be allowed to go on an end of
the year PRIDE fieldtrip at the end of the semester.
The emphasis of the PRIDE System is always on giving the student the opportunity to correct the
misbehavior and behave according to school wide expectations. Sometimes the student may need instruction
and reminders of the acceptable behavior, along with consistent reinforcement from teachers.
(Keep in mind that the ratio of positive to negative statements needs to be at least 4:1 to prevent the child
from getting discouraged and giving up). NOTE: Over the 2014-2015 school year, we will collaborate on
how to improve this PRIDE procedure to make it more meaningful, more positive, and less punitive
for students. Please forward all input to the PBIS Team.
PRIDE Tickets
PRIDE tickets will be implemented to reward students who demonstrate PRIDE expectations. Every teacher
and staff member will be given tickets to reward students seen demonstrating PRIDE expectations
throughout the school campus. PRIDE tickets can be given across grade, team, electives, and content levels
catch them being authentically good! The teacher will issue pre-stamped PRIDE tickets to students. It is
the students responsibility to write his or her name in ink on the front of the PRIDE ticket, and store it in a
secure place. Classroom teachers will have zip lock bags for those who need one. If a student loses a PRIDE
ticket, teachers should not issue a replacement PRIDE ticket. In addition, it is the students responsibility to
save their PRIDE tickets in a safe place until the monthly collection date. Teachers should not keep PRIDE
tickets for any student.
PRIDE tickets will be used to determine whether a student is able to attend PRIDE celebrations/parties.
Each month, the students Core 1 teacher will collect the required amount of tickets from the students. Mr.
Carter will provide teachers and administrators with a list of students who received a major referral(s) and
will need additional PRIDE tickets to attend the monthly PRIDE celebration/party. Teams are then
responsible for sending one master list of students who will attend the celebration to Mr. Carter and hall
administrator by the required time. Afterwards, the collected PRIDE tickets can be destroyed (recycled) and
a new set of PRIDE tickets will be issued. Ticket colors will rotate monthly, and it is the teachers
responsibility to secure PRIDE tickets.
