PBIS
Overview
PBIS is the acronym for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports which is our proactive approach to prevent inappropriate behavior through teaching and reinforcing appropriate behaviors. At VMS students are expected to follow our Pride Matrix and are awarded PRIDE tickets when they are observed being Ready, Responsible, or Respectful.
Various raffles are held throughout the year that include a Pizza Party, Choose Your own RALLY, Yearbook, Mystery Box and more!
These tickets can be turned in for various incentives from their teachers or from school wide incentives. Some suggestions are listed below.
During the 2023-24 school year our goal is 110,00 Pride Tickets and 600 Positive Referrals! This number has increased from 522 during the 2012/13 school year when the PBIS program was first implemented. If we reach our goals by the end of the year, there will be an end of the year celebration!
Number of Referrals for Major Behaviors:
2021-22: 403
2022-23: 371
