PBIS & The School District of Fort Atkinson

We are focusing on establishing clear expectations and promoting appropriate behavior in all students. The purpose of implementing PBIS is to create a positive and fun environment where students feel safe and ready to learn.
Your child will spend the first few days of school learning about our social and behavior expectations:
BE RESPECTFUL
BE RESPONSIBLE
BE SAFE
I AM READY TO LEARN
Students will learn what respectful, responsible, and safe behavior looks like through out the building and will have opportunities to practice these behaviors. Throughout the year staff will reinforce and may reteach these expectations.

Reinforcement:
Part of PBIS involves reinforcing the behaviors that we want to see. Each staff member will have the opportunity to reinforce good behaviors.
Within their classrooms, each student will have their own clothespin attached to a chart with multiple colors. Each student begins their day on “Green.” If
a student makes a good choice, they’ll get to move their clip up to “Blue”. They will continue to move their clip up or down based on the choices they make. Students will be marked the color they ended their day on in their assignment notebooks or daily folders.
Consequences:
Consequences are still given for inappropriate behaviors. These may include:
Telephone calls to parents
Loss of privileges
After school, teacher or lunch detention
In/ out of school suspension
