Behavior Interventions and Supports
PBIS System
Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional and spiritual growth. PBIS foresters positive, predictable and safe learning environments where everyone in our faith community can grow in virtue. The aim of PBIS is to establish a healthy school climate and culture, increase student engagement and instructional time and empower students to play a central role in their education. Research shows that PBIS consistently leads to reduced exclusionary discipline and improved student and teacher outcomes.
PBIS supports the mission of Saint Timothy Catholic School to joyfully instill a love of Christ and empower every child to achieve, lead and serve with integrity and compassion. It involves universal language and clearly defined expectations, real time recognition of positive behavior and fun rewards!
Our faith community is guided by the 4s: Respect, Responsibility, Resourcefulness and Resilience.
