Positive Behavior and Intervention Supports
As we strive for excellence in Christian behavior, we have
implemented the P.B.I.S. Program (Positive Behavior and
Intervention Supports). Students are awarded for their
positive behavior in these ways:
CARS Bucks
C.A.R.S. – Christian Attitude, Responsibility, Safety are
the pillars of our P.B.I.S. Program
Students in Gr. 1-8 are eligible to receive a “CARS BUCK”.
These are given to students who work extra hard at showing a
Christian attitude, showing responsibility or acting safely.
These may be given by any teacher for actions such as:
showing an extra kindness, improving on behavior,
participating actively in Mass.
CARS Bucks are placed into a drawing in the classroom or
office. Prizes are awarded in
classrooms weekly and from the principal quarterly.
Discipline is a growth process. There are times that certain behaviors result in consequences such as: MINORS and MAJORS
Minors are a discipline
consequence for behavior such as: disrespect, disruptive
behavior, tardiness, out of uniform, chewing gum, cheating,
and general breaking of school and classroom rules/policies.
Minors are not to be taken lightly. They are given
after warnings are issued (except in the case of extreme
behavior). Minors/Majors are meant to serve as a
communication tool between the school and home. The
expectation is that students will recognize and change their
behavior. Every minor/major should be returned to
school on the next school day signed by the parent/guardian.
If a minor/major is not signed by the parent,
further consequences may be awarded. The minor/major
and its consequences will
stand even if there is no parent signature.
Good discipline and respect are necessary for learning to take place. It is important that all students recognize the importance in adhering to school rules and policies. If a student disrupts the education process or breaks an established classroom or school rule, we have created opportunities for behavioral improvement at all grade levels.
