Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
Our PBIS motto is “Be Responsible, Respectful, & Safe.” The goal of PBIS is to teach and reward positive behavior and to encourage a positive atmosphere throughout our school. At North Ranchito we have three primary school-wide expectations that your children are learning now: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe. For each of these expectations, we have a few specific rules that must be followed in each area of the school. When your child or your child’s class is “caught” following the rules listed, they have the opportunity to earn a “Puma Pride” ticket, which can be collected and exchanged at our Puma Pride Store or Lunch with the Principal! Students who have difficulty meeting the school-wide expectations will take part in small group interventions and encouragement so that all of our students can experience a positive school environment.
The primary concern is to create and foster a safe learning environment where everyone has access to achieve his or her greatest potential. This safe environment will allow all students the opportunity to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. By having a structured policy, the students are allowed to develop good self-worth by giving them decision-making opportunities. North Ranchito Elementary School students who have consistent and realistic consequences for their actions learn that they have positive control over their lives.
North Ranchito Elementary promotes a positive and safe environment. Together we create respectful, responsible, and successful academic achievers and individuals whose character counts.
