Parents/Guardians and PBIS
To be successful, our behavior program needs to be a partnership between home and school. Throughout the school year the PBIS team will send updates and information about PBIS. We invite your comments, concerns and ideas to make PBIS work at our school.
Please support PBIS at home by:
Reviewing behavior expectations with your child
Using the three expectations at home
Providing positive reinforcement (rewarding good choices with compliments or quality time) at home
Sharing comments with or asking questions of PBIS team members
Joining ELAC, PTA, Site Council or become a volunteer to learn more about SJES
Together we can achieve more!

San Juan Elementary School

What is PBIS?

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an approach to teaching and supporting positive behaviors and meeting the needs of ALL students. This school-wide approach to discipline focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students can learn.
The foundation of PBIS at San Juan
Elementary School is the three school-wide expectations:
Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be Ready to Learn
In addition to our behavior expectations, PBIS has four components:
A behavior matrix which explains behavior expectations in each school setting;
Direct teaching of the expectations;
Roary tickets and;
Behavior flowchart to address inappropriate behaviors.

Behavior Matrix
The behavior matrix is a detailed description of expected behavior in each setting of the school. The matrix will be posted in classrooms, around school and is in the parent handbook that was sent home.

Teaching Expectations
Throughout the school year, students will be taught how to behave according to the three behavior expectations. Teachers will help students learn what the expectations “look” and “sound” like in every setting during the school day. These lessons will be re-taught and reinforced throughout the school year, and become a regular part of our instructional program.

Roary tickets
Acknowledging and reinforcing positive behavior is one of the best ways to change inappropriate behavior and encourage appropriate behavior. At SJES each student will earn tickets when they go over and beyond our behavior expectations. When Roary tickets are earned, students will enjoy taking trips to the PBIS Store on Fridays during lunch recess to trade in tickets for prizes. This will automatically enter them into a weekly raffle as well.

Behavior flowchart
Even with clear expectations and positive reinforcement, sometimes children will misbehave. To address inappropriate behavior we will be using a behavior flowchart. Discipline issues are divided into major and minor infractions.
Major infractions are issues that result in office time. Parents/guardians will always be notified by school staff about major infractions.
Minor infractions are behaviors that are disruptive to the school environment. If a child receives three minor infractions for the same behavior, it becomes a major infraction and administration will address the behaviors.
When a child repeatedly receives minors or majors, parents/guardians, teachers, support staff and the administration will meet to build an effective behavior intervention plan for that child.
