West Salisbury Elementary Handbook 2023-2024

3 PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports 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 researchbased, 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. WEST SALISBURY CODE OF CONDUCT Expected behaviors are posted in all areas of the school. Respectful Responsible Ready On a daily basis, students will have the opportunity to earn “Tiger Paws”. If students would like to attend the monthly incentive, they must save the designated number of coupons to attend. Periodically throughout the year, students can also visit the “Tiger Cart” to buy items with their “Tiger Paws”. TIGER PLEDGE I am a West Salisbury Tiger and that I’m proud to be. You’ll know me by the choices I make and good behaviors you see. I am Ready to learn, Respectful to all, and accept responsibility. I know I can do grrrrr-eat things because I believe in me! CODE OF CONDUCT Wicomico County Public Schools uses the Code of Conduct as its policy for handling inappropriate and unacceptable behavior in school and at school-sponsored activities. Each family receives a copy of this Code to read and reference throughout the year. It is the guide of consequences used when inappropriate behaviors occur. We ask parents to support this Code of Conduct, thus increasing its effectiveness at school. This Code of Conduct will be used routinely by the administrators when assigning consequences for unacceptable behavior.
