17. FOUR TO THE CORE Respectful : Treat others and property how you want to be treated. Responsible : Be prepared with your things and your mind for the school day. Safe : Make good choices so no one gets hurt. Think before you act. Caring : Doing helpful things for others.

18. PBIS REINFORCEMENTS/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To ensure we are providing positive feedback to our students, we are implementing a “punch card” reward system. The students can earn punches for demonstrating respectful, responsible, safe, or caring behaviors. Students can earn punches in any setting, from any school employee. Students earning tickets/punch cards will be rewarded in the class and/or at school assemblies. When providing acknowledgment for appropriate behavior, it is important to give 5 positive comments to 1 negative . If a negative behavior is chronic, takes the teacher away from instruction, or an issue of safety, an office referral may be made.
