PBIS

Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is a way to help students succeed in school. Blending behavior theory and effective instruction, PBIS supports all students through interventions ranging from a school-wide system to individualized plans for specific students. School-wide PBIS focuses on the development and implementation of pro-active procedures and practices used to prevent problem behaviors for all students and to improve the school climate.

Expectations

Students at Success Academy are expected to adhere to the school community values of respect, responsibility and integrity. In all aspects of the school, (whether in the classroom, hall, bathrooms, cafeteria, etc.) It is important for students to learn that different environments have different behavioral expectations; Success Academy’s school campus is not any different.

Interventions

At Success Academy, administrators, faculty, and all school staff use various interventions to support the needs of all students. It is the goal of the staff to understand the individual needs of each student and develop a specific intervention plan to assist them with additional support.
