Windermere School

Windermere Elementary School implements “Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports” (PBIS).  The purpose of PBIS is to establish and maintain a safe and effective school environment that maximizes academic achievement and the behavioral competence of all students. PBIS encourages students to form positive relationships with each other and with adults.

Through the PBIS approach, our school has created positively stated expectations for all students and staff. A matrix of behavior expectations will be taught to all students for all school settings. The acronym, R.I.S.E. is the format that was decided to present these expectations. The letters in the acronym stand for Respect, Inclusivity, Self-Control and Elevating Excellence.

 
There is a continuum of procedures for encouraging the demonstration of these expectations and procedures for discouraging negative behaviors. These systems are further explained in the linked materials.
