A Positive Way to Support Our Students
Our school is committed to building a positive and supportive environment where every student can thrive. We do this through our School Store, which plays a vital role in our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) program. PBIS is a framework we use to promote positive behaviors in our school community. The goal is to teach students about the behaviors we expect (respect, responsibility, safety) and reward them for consistently demonstrating them. By focusing on what students do well, PBIS helps create a culture of positivity and encouragement.
The School Store is designed as a reward system for students who consistently follow the school’s behavioral expectations. Here’s how it works:
· Earning Points: Students earn PBIS points when they demonstrate positive behaviors, such as respecting peers and teachers, completing tasks responsibly, or helping to maintain a safe and welcoming environment. These points are tracked daily and can be accumulated over time.
· Spending Points: Students can visit the School Store and use their points to purchase rewards. The store is stocked with a variety of items, including:
· School Supplies (pencils, notebooks, erasers, etc.)
· Snacks (healthy options and treats)
· Spirit Wear (t-shirts, hats, school-themed accessories)
· Small Toys or Prizes (sticker sets, keychains, etc.)
· Creating Goals: The system also encourages students to set goals for earning rewards. Whether saving up for a larger item or consistently earning smaller rewards, the process teaches students the value of effort, persistence, and planning.
In connection with PBIS, the School Store helps students stay motivated, take pride in their positive choices, and learn responsibility and goal-setting. More importantly, the School Store gives us another way to recognize and reward students for doing the right thing—and to keep building a positive, supportive school culture. Thank you for partnering with us to help every student feel seen, valued, and encouraged!
