Parents’ role in PBIS • Use PBIS language at home, i.e. “Is that being safe? “ • “You are being so responsible.” • Discuss the behavioral expectations and teaching matrix with your child(ren), especially for the bus! • Discuss how Hurlbutt’s expectations apply to situations outside of school • Ask your child about the hive and earning honeycombs • Support the school assemblies and school celebrations, i.e. have children dress in black & yellow for assemblies and participate in school celebrations
