PBIS

What is PBIS?

PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports) is an approach to teaching & supporting positive behaviors. This school-wide approach to discipline focuses on building a safe & positive environment in which all students can learn.

The Foundation of PBIS at Bloomingdale is "PAWS":

  • Prepare to do your Personal Best
  • Act Responsibly
  • Work and Play Safely
  • Show Respect

In addition to our “PAWS” focus, PBIS includes a behavior matrix which explains behavior expectations in each school setting.  We recognize expected behaviors & use behavior referral forms to record & address inappropriate behaviors.

Teaching Expectations

Throughout the school year, the Bloomingdale “PAWS” expectations will be reviewed & reinforced. 

Recognition of Expected Behaviors

Acknowledging and reinforcing positive behavior is one of the best ways to encourage appropriate behavior. At Bloomingdale, students will have the opportunity to earn ClassDojo points & BEAR PAWS for meeting behavior expectations. Earned points & BEAR PAWS can be redeemed for classroom privileges/ awards and some school-wide events during the year.
