2. PBS stands for Positive Behavior Support. It is a program designed to teach respect, responsibility, and safety at school. At Memorial Elementary we hope to encourage students to continuously make good behavioral choices by implementing this program. PBS provides teachers and other school staff with information to help prevent behavior problems and help make school a safe learning environment. PBS is a research  based program which can result in: Increased time for instruction An increase in positive behaviors school  wide A decrease in disruptive behaviors. ABOUT PBS HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS * Posters that highlight behavior expectations for all areas of the school, from the classrooms, office, gym, to the restrooms, will remind students of what is expected from them in each area. All students and staff are taught the school  wide expectations. Students will receive frequent reviews of the expectations and be acknowledged when they demonstrate them. Most of the contact that students have with adults in the building is positive and prevents problem behavior from occurring. Staff will use data to help identify students who need additional support. A PBS school provides a consistent, predictable, and fair use of consequences for all students.
