Forest City Elementary is off to a fantastic start to the school year!
A key focus during the first few weeks of school is working with our students to understand elementary’s behavior expectations in areas of our school such as hallways, bathrooms, the lunch room, coat rooms, the playground, etc.
These lessons have a focus around our four key themes of:
Be Safe
Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be Your Best
These are all part of the "Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS)" initiative that is new to our school this year.
We want to recognize students for following the four key themes stated above rather than focusing on the consequences if they don’t. Points for positive behavior will be tracked and available on an app called "PBISrewards." Positive reinforcements will be awarded when individual students or classrooms reach their goals. You might hear your child say, "I have 'X' amount of points," or "I was chosen in a raffle and received movie tickets," or "I got to read the announcements today."
Sometime this month you will receive a letter with a QR code that is specific to your child. When you download the PBISrewards app, you will be able to scan the QR code and follow up with any points or any behavior referrals your child has received.
