What is PBIS? 

PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Support which is a school wide program that focuses on the positive actions we want students to practice.  The program ensures that all school stakeholders are consistent with rules and consequences for negative behaviors. A team is in place that surveys students, staff and parents about areas of concern in the school.  A team develops guidelines for that area and lesson plans to support teachers and students being on the same page with expectations.

South End's PBIS Motto: South End Bears are on the PROWL!

Red Paws and Dojo Points:
