Welcome to this Blog

This blog is a place to collect information about our school's decision to adopt PBIS and how it will be implemented.

Parents and educators should have an active voice in the decision-making regarding this program.

In order to ask questions, one needs information. It is offered here.

You should know, it is filtered it through my sincere belief and experience that giving rewards for expected behavior is counterproductive to promoting responsibility.

I invite you to make your own conclusions. I encourage you to be sure your voice is heard. Our children are counting on us.
