5 PBIS (POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION SUPPORT) Positive Behavioral Intervention Support is a process for creating safer and more effective schools. PBIS is a systems approach to enhancing the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing research-based, school wide, and classroom discipline systems. The process focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students. PBIS provides systems for schools to design, implement, and evaluate effective school wide, classroom, non-classroom, and student specific discipline plans. PBIS includes school-wide procedures and processes intended for all students, all staff, and all settings. School-wide and hallway rules, cafeteria procedures, bus ramp expectations, attendance, and other sections of this document support this initiative. Students earn positive dojo points for making good choices and following the Skipper Pledge daily. Celebrations are scheduled monthly and quarterly to celebrate students who have reached their dojo goal and attendance. Students will be able to track their points earned towards each incentive. Additionally, Class Dojo will be used as a main source of parent communication between teachers, administration, and families. ARRIVAL OF STUDENTS School doors are unlocked for students to enter at 8:45 a.m. each school day (except in case of 90minute weather-related delay). For the safety of your child, please see that they do not arrive before 8:45 a.m. Supervision will not be provided by the staff until 8:45 a.m. LATE ARRIVAL If a child must arrive at a school after 9:15am he/she must report to the main door escorted by the adult who is dropping them off. Here they will be able to enter the building to receive a tardy slip before he/she will be allowed to go to the classroom. A doctor’s note will need to be provided in order to excuse the tardy. EARLY DISMISSAL OF STUDENTS Students who must leave school during the school day should bring a note to their teacher that morning. A physical note or email from home is required when a student’s afternoon transportation routine will differ from the norm. Telephone requests will need to be followed up with an email or fax request before they can be honored. For security reasons phone calls cannot be accepted, a written note is required. To utilize email include both the classroom teacher and our office staff ( Morgan Powell mopowell@wcboe.org and Kristen Phillips kphillips@wcboe.org) and/or fax a copy of the note (410677-5176) by noon on the day of the desired change. Your child’s safety is much too important for us to deviate from this procedure. When picking up your child early, report to the main door to get your child prior to 3:15 pm. Student early dismissals will not occur between 3:15 and 4:10. If a front door dismissal between 3:15 and 4:10 pm is required it must be accompanied by a doctor’s note showing the appointment time, in line with the procedures above. Please have your I.D. ready as office staff will cross-reference your I.D. and the student contacts listed in parent portal before calling them to the office for dismissal. Only adults over the age of 18 listed on the student data form will be allowed to pick students up.
