Major Results of Implementing PBIS: A significant decrease in our discipline referrals. In 2015-2016 school year, there were 323 discipline referrals. In 2016-2017 school year, there were 121. That is a 63% reduction in discipline referrals. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0NtWsp3QfAHbGstNUlQR1Y0Mms

Fair Street & Gainesville City Expectations BE THE ONE Ready Respectful Responsible Role Model Poster https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ARZfHVRZ2qUdk9-GZYgaEWBF1rFhvbDpR24e_PcSJks/edit .

School Wide Expectations Treat others the way you want to be treated Follow adult directions the first time Take care of school property Come to school prepared I am always positive about myself & others. I take responsibility for my behavior & education. I use appropriate language at all times.

Classroom Expectations Treat the teacher with absolute Respect Follow all classroom rules Bring all needed materials Complete all work in a timely manner Keep the classroom clean & orderly Help your classmates whenever possible

Cafeteria & Playground Clean up your area & be ready to line up Use inside voice with people around you Keep hands and feet to self. Wait patiently in line. Playground Play by the rules. Include others. I am considerate of others at recess, and listen for the teacher's call to line up.

Restroom, Hallway & Atrium Respect each other’s privacy. I take care of business in the restroom and go immediately back to class. Hallways & Atrium Be silent – raise hand to speak Keep hands, feet & objects away from other people, the walls & displays Stay with your class.

Teaching of Expectations Lessons are in Google Drive and teachers have access to them at all times Lessons are taught at the beginning of the year - and at times that our data shows us they need reinforced (i.e. right before a break). New teachers are oriented to them at the beginning of the year. New students are introduced to them when they enter a new class.

PBIS Meetings Meeting dates are sent out via Google Calendar Invite Roles and expectations are discussed clearly at the beginning Sub-committees help with the amount of work that needs to be done Administrative support is essential

Challenges for the Future School Health Survey showed our students think classroom management needs improving More focus on supporting classroom teachers with behavioral interventions Teachers will create classroom expectations aligned with PBIS Orient parents with PBIS and encourage their involvement
