Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
Be RESPECTFUL. Be RESPONSIBLE. Be SAFE.
Positive Behavior Support (PBIS) is a program supported by RSU #10 to promote and maximize academic achievement and behavioral competence. It is a school-wide strategy for helping all students achieve important social and learning goals. We know that when good behavior and good teaching come together, our students will excel in their learning.
As part of the PBIS program, we have established three school wide rules, be respectful, be responsible, and be safe. We have and will continue to explicitly teach those expectations to the students and reward them frequently with positive notes and prizes for their great behavior. The expectations for all student behavior will be clear throughout our building and playground areas, cafeteria, gymnasium, and classrooms. You will be able to ask your student, “What are the rules in your school?” “How do you follow those rules?” “What happens when a teacher sees you following the rules?”
Our school rules are designed to provide a safer school environment and give more time for instruction. We will apply consistent consequences and positive reinforcement for all kids. By detailing every expected behavior and teaching to kids in a positive way, we will provide a common language for everyone in our building, including students, teachers, front office staff and our paraprofessionals.
We believe that by helping students practice good behavior, we will build a school community where all students have an environment where they can succeed and grow.
We would like your input and your involvement. Please contact us at school if you have any questions or need further information. Thank you for your support!

Has your child come home saying, "I GOT A COIN TODAY!"?
If yes, your child was "caught being good," at R.E.S! When your child comes home with such amazing news, make sure to ask what they did to receive the coin. They should say more than, "being good." The coins are saved at school and at the end of each month students get to go to the PBIS store and SHOP! The can spend their coins on little toys and different fun activities. This month's non-tangibles are a pogo-stick party, legos in the hallway, and an extra recess. We also have a raffle of a pancake breakfast, YUM!
What about the, not-so-good behavior?
If a student is struggling with math or learning how to read, we don't punish them, we re-teach them, and find different strategies to help them to be successful. That same attitude is used when students are struggling with behavior. Along with reteaching, it is important for us to communicate with you, as the parent/guardian, in order for us to be on the same page. Our communication form includes the behavior, who was involved, the consequence, and a place for a parent signature. The form itself is NOT a consequence. It is a communication and documentation device so that we can keep track of our students' behavior progress throughout the school.
