Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports

What is PBIS?

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.
