Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) - Gilbert Community School District

The elementary has newly established a systemic approach to student behavior called PBIS. Throughout the building we have established a common language for expectations in common areas such as the lunchroom, recess, hallway, and restrooms. In addition, we have established a system of teaching those expectations and a method for positively reinforcing the behaviors that we wish to see. I addition, we have a established a menu of consequences which clearly communicates to parents, staff and students the ramifications of their behaviors.

Voice Levels

The elementary is implementing a voice level system to let students know what level of voice is appropriate in what area. Below are the numbers and their definitions.
