PBIS overview video

Behavioral expectations at Patrick Marsh: Be Respectful, Responsible and Safe.

Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) and Above the Line are being used together to form the behavioral curriculm in Sun Prairie Area School District.  Both approaches are utilized to teach behavior expectations and reinforce behavior in a positive and consistent manner across the district.

Student Recognition

         *  ACE/SOM Assemblies: ACE stands for Academic Achievement-Cooperation-Effort and SOM stands for Student-of-the-Month.  Each month, teachers nominate students for these two awards and we celebrate their success by having an all-school assembly.

         *  Facewall: when students earn enough PAWS, a facewall profile is created and shown in our display case near the main office.

What are PAWS and how can they be used?

When displaying expected behavior students will earn PAWS (Positive Award Winning Students) from staff members.  PAWS can be used to purchase items at the school store, earn time in the Panther Den, or buy a speed pass or an a la carte item at lunch.

Below the Line vs. Bottom Line Behaviors.  This poster is displayed all around our school.  This triangle is used throughout the district and should be familiar to your child.

Below see an example of a Fix-It plan which is used to correct below the line, minor behavior infractions.

An important part of PBIS is data collection.  The PBIS team collects data on minor and major behavior referrals, attendance and behavior interventions.  This data is used to drive re-teaching of behavior in specific areas of the school.  For example, if the behavior team notices increased tardies there may be re-teaching of positive hallway behavior and increased rewarding of on-time students.
