What is Positive Behavior Support? • A way to focus on positive behaviors and decrease focus on negative behaviors. • System helps students want to learn, model, and repeat desired behaviors and expectations. • Teachers, administration, and students focus on the positive, thereby changing the school climate.

In our first year of implementation, we received a PBS Model School designation for our 6th Grade Center. Our discipline referrals had decreased significantly and our recognition program was a hit with the students and faculty.
Fear Factor is held in October so students have had time to collect enough Sand Dollars to purchase a ticket. Our second semester event is the Luau. This is another extremely popular PBS Experience.
Set up and organization for the Luau requires dedication and a tremendous amount of teacher and student labor.
