Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) News: Tiogue students are BRAVE. Our BRAVE program continues to be in full swing. Our students are being reminded to follow our positive school wide behavioral expectations and they are being acknowledged and rewarded for following our BRAVE rules: Be kind, Responsible behavior, Always Ready to Learn, Valuing Self and Others, and Everybody is Somebody at Tiogue School. Our gold slips are being distributed, added up and we have reached over 8,000 so far. As a result we had a special assembly entitled, “A Friendship Adventure with Ronald McDonald” in April. The theme was about teaching positive behaviors and preventing bullying behavior. Children are also participating in our weekly raffle drawings. In addition, we had the Coventry High School’s Varsity Review perform for those students who did not receive an Office Referral Form during the second trimester. Our School Climate Team continues to meet monthly and we review our school wide positive behavioral interventions and we plan for the future. Our Target Team has been identified and we have been receiving training about targeted interventions to help support those students who are not being successful with our school wide behavioral expectations. Some families have found it helpful to use the school wide PBIS expectations of being BRAVE at home. They are using the common language of being kind, responsible, always ready, and valuing self and others in their conversations with their children at home. These BRAVE expectations work well at school, in the home, and out in the community. Jeanne Bazelak, LICSW School Social Worker and PBIS Coach
