PBIS Theme Rotating themes throughout the years. Boswell uses a theme each year to engage students in our PBIS expectations. (*Staff voice) Banners/Decorations display our current PBIS theme. PBIS Themed T-shirts – The PBIS team used to go around to area businesses to ask for donations so every student could receive a t-shirt. Now, we do charge $10 per shirt for every student that wants one. We sold 318 shirts in 2014-2015.

Transportation The bus continues to be a hot spot for ODR’s at Boswell. We have tried several different interventions in this area. We are celebrating this year that our bus referrals have dropped by 25%. Buzz Bucks (PLINKO) Previously, we held bus driver breakfasts each quarter to thank our drivers. The driver attendance was minimal. Currently, we give quarterly thank you gift deliveries to the bus barn for the drivers. Gifts have a resupply of Buzz Bucks attached.

Our Newest Ideas Videos production that teach/reteach our PBIS expectations.
