PBIS FAQ

• What is PBIS?  PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.  This approach rewards appropriate behaviors for creating a positive learning environment. 
• Where is PBIS implemented?  PBIS is implemented in areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, restrooms, cafeteria, and bus lane).
• How is PBIS implemented?  Python Pride Awards (Green slips) are given to students who display appropriate behaviors and are intended to recognize students who are being respectful, responsible, and safe.  "Green slips" give a staff member an opportunity to model what appropriate behaviors look like for other students .  Python Pride Patrol slips (Yellow slips) are given to students who display inappropriate behaviors in non-classroom areas (such as hallways, restrooms, cafeteria, and bus lane).  If a student receives three "yellow slips" they receive a detention.  If a student continues to receive "yellow slips", the consequences and intervention techniques increase.  "Yellow slips" are intended to be used to document the behavior and initiate a conversation between the staff member and student about how to turn an inappropriate behavior into an appropriate behavior.  Out of the Blue Days are random rewards given throughout the month to encourage positive behavior. 
• What is the PBIS store menu?  During lunch on Fridays, students can redeem their "green slips" for various prizes offered at the PBIS store. 
• How can PJHS parents help out?  The PTO is always looking for volunteers to run the PBIS store.  If you are interested in helping run the PBIS store, please contact the main office at 452-8321.  Donated incentives are always needed.  Please see the PBIS wish list for rewards that our students have requested.  Bring donated items to the main office.
