Safe means making sure that you Are careful and don’t get hurt. Don’t climb up the slide, run in the hall, Or pull on someone’s shirt. Positive is all about Having a good attitude. Smile, be friendly, use kind words, And spread your good mood. PBS is one great way to show That you have pride. We are excited that we go to Pinewood, That is a feeling that we will not hide!

16. Empowering Parents and Volunteers Parent/Volunteer Information Sheet Regarding PBS at Pinewood Elementary PBS stands for Positive Behavior Support. This is a process that we have implemented at Pinewood in all classrooms and all areas of the school. Welcome to our PBS school! At Pinewood, we have developed 4 expectations that have been taught to the kids. They are to be respectful, responsible, safe, and positive. On the back of this sheet, you will find our matrix which describes what those 4 expectations look like in different areas of the school, including the classroom. We recognize students for intentionally displaying and modeling our expectations during their school day. They are recognized with a piece of paper called a Paw Print. They collect Paw Prints to use to purchase items in our PBS store and to use at our quarterly PBS events put on for the whole school. When handing out a Paw Print to a student, we state the reason for them receiving the recognition by stating the expectation they exhibited and how we saw it done. For example, “Beth, I just noticed that you were being safe by stepping out of line to tie your shoe before we went into the hallway. Thank you for being safe.” Attached here are some Paw Prints designed just for use by a parent or volunteer visiting Pinewood. Please feel free to use these to reward respectful, responsible, safe, and positive behavior at our school while you are here today. You can recognize behaviors you see from the students in a classroom you are working in today as well as other students you encounter in the hallways, cafeteria, or other areas of the school. On the back of the Paw Print, you will find a fill-in-the-blank sentence that can help you remember what to say when handing out a Paw Print to a student. I hope you have a great day at Pinewood! Thank you for taking time to volunteer! Your participation and time makes our school a better place.

17. Teaching Parents Family PBS Role Play Script and Plan • Start the meeting by deciding on 2-4 family meeting rules. These should be short, to the point, and everyone should be able to and expected to follow them. (Consider the ages of your children when creating these rules together.) • Continue the meeting by making a list of what respect and responsibility look like in your home (your personal expectations) and have each family member describe one thing that another family member does that is responsible or respectful in the home. • Next, each member should be encouraged to state at least one positive comment about his/her own strengths when thinking about good character. • After that, as a family, brainstorm one thing that happens in the home that is not respectful or responsible that you would like to see changed. You may choose to each list an idea using this fill in the blank statement, “I see others in our home ________, but I would like for them to __________.” And then decide together which one to focus on tonight. Keep the other ones in mind for your next family meeting at home! • Together, make a list of 3-5 ways to change the current behavior that you are focusing on tonight. Reference your list that you created together regarding what respect and responsibility look like in your home and see how you can change the current behavior to fit those criteria. • Write down your new plan and have each family member sign the plan. Hang it on the refrigerator or the door, where everyone can see it when you get home tonight! • CELEBRATE! You just helped to create a positive change in your family! Way to go!
