Our School
For Families
PBIS-or Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports-is a school-wide system that recognizes the positive contributions of students.
The main goal of PBIS is to help every student at Thomas Fleming School develop self-regulation skills to make positive choices.
The PBIS process focuses on our school’s ability to teach and support positive behavior expectations for all students.
As a result, instructional time is more effectively used for teaching and the overall school environment is calm, pleasant and focused on learning.
