School-Wide Positive Behavior
Support (PBS) at SHES
PBS is the application of positive
interventions and system changes to achieve socially important
behavior change. PBS is also a behaviorally-based systems
approach to improving the capability of schools, families, and
communities to design effective and positive environments in
which teaching and learning occur. PBS requires a collaborative
team consisting of administrators, teachers, support personnel,
behavior specialist, and, eventually, parents.
Sleepy Hill’s PBS Team has worked on developing a
school-wide plan that includes the following components:
1)
Expectations and rules that are clearly
and positively defined:
Sleepy Hill
Elementary Expectations
Show Respect
Healthy Attitude
Explore Responsibly
Safety First
2)
Lesson plans for teaching the
expectations and rules to staff and then to students.
3)
The acknowledgement of appropriate
behaviors through positive praise, a school-wide reward system,
and class-wide reward systems. For the school-wide system,
students are rewarded charms/tokens (that go on chains) for
outstanding behavior that reflects the school’s expectations and
classroom or area rules. Students who earn enough tokens by the
end of each month use these tokens to attend a reward event at
the end of the month.
4)
The proactive correction of behavioral
errors through corrective feedback and discipline.
5)
The use of discipline data for
monitoring PBS progress and making decisions regarding changes
to the PBS process on a monthly basis.

Volunteering
All parents are encouraged to sign up to be a volunteer for our school.
If you sign up now you will be approved by the time school starts. Anyone not an approved volunteer will not be permitted to attend classroom functions nor go on fieldtrips. It may take several weeks for approval so please sign up now. Even if you know you will not be able to volunteer at school on a regular basis, you will want to participate in your child’s special school activities. Registering as a volunteer does not obligate you in anyway but for the safety of our children everyone on campus needs to be approved.
