PBIS

WHES is a PBIS school.  PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports.  This year we are focusing on leadership and goals.  Our clip chart is modeled after The 7 Habits of Happy Kids.  Click here for more information:  www.theleaderinme.org/information/what-is-the-leader-in-me/the-7-habits-for-kids/ 

Every classroom has a clip chart and every student chooses a habit as their goal for the day.  Students who reach their goal, flip their clip over.  Students who display off-task behavior will be given one warning.  If subsequent behaviors continue, the following steps will take place with each additional occurrence: the student will move to refocus and reflect and if we still need to work on the behavior then receive documentation, and if the behavior is severe, then receive a referral. 
 
Students will also receive HERO bucks for following the WHES way: Safe, Ready, Responsible & Polite.  These can be turned in for various classroom rewards:  pick a prize, sit in a special chair, switch seats for a day, homework pass, and lunch with teacher.  Students can also receive a positive referral for going above and beyond!
