Positive Behavior Intervention Supports

What is PBIS?

PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a behavioral framework that teaches appropriate behavior, provides intervention strategies when behavioral expectations are not met, and recognizes students when behavioral expectations are met.

The mission of the West PBIS team is to foster and promote a safe and positive school environment that enhances student learning through teaching and recognizing positive behavior.

What is KickBoard?

West uses KickBoard to track positive behaviors and allow students to earn Middie Money for purchasing a variety of prizes or reward experiences like being the principal's assistant for the day, Nintendo Switch with a staff member, etc. Additionally, we plan quarterly events such as Glow Parties, West Fest, and Student-Staff Challenge. Ask your students how many points they have earned and if they have made any purchases/participated in any fun PBIS events.
