wHAT IS PBIs?
PBIS STANDS FOR POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS & SUPPORTS.
It includes academic, behavioral & social-emotional learning. PBIS uses a 3-tiered system:
Engage in learning
Show Respect, and
Try their best.
- Tier I Supports include proactive school supports for all students. These are taught across the school community using our Bathgate BEST expectations & reinforced with our BEST incentive tickets, which can be exchanged for merchandise at our B.E.S.T BUY store (see description below). When the school asks students to be their Bathgate BEST, they are expected to
Engage in learning
Show Respect, and
Try their best.
- Tier II Supports are implemented when students need extra support with Tier I expectations.
- Tier III Supports provide individual support for students who need additional support above & beyond Tier II.
What is Bathgate's B.E.S.T BUY store?
This is a PTA sponsored store provided as a reward/incentive for students being their Bathgate BEST. Each time a student shows their BEST, they earn a ticket. These tickets can be earned during class, recess, lunch, recycling, participating in school events, and showing kindness to a classmate.
The volunteer run B.E.S.T BUY store continue to run, approx. every 4-5 weeks, this year! Children can exchange their B.E.S.T tickets earned for fabulous merchandise (such as Legos, sports gear, school supplies, small toys, etc.), fun school experiences or a monthly treat or snack*. Merchandise will range from 5 tickets to 200 tickets.
*Please discuss with your children any food restrictions before they shop.
