PBIS Activities / Cub Cash

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) cover a sweeping set of principles that can help schools guide students toward positive behavior and improved discipline. Rather than focusing on changing the student, PBIS encourages students to change themselves by guiding them with environmental change and teaching consequences. 

Throughout the day, the students can earn “Cub Cash” by any faculty member for exhibiting characteristics of PAWS. (Pre-K may be on a different day as it fits into their schedule) Students can redeem their Cub Cash for privileges/tangible rewards every Monday during circle time. Cub Cash should be kept at school in the classroom.

Students are recognized by the bus drivers daily for following all P.A.W.S. bus expectations. Students receive a certificate from the driver.

Students who receive all A’s or B’s in conduct and have no unexcused tardies or absences for the week (Monday-Friday) will be rewarded with a dress down day on the following Monday.

Once a month students who have weekly averages of A or B during the month, with no daily averages of D’s or F’s, have not received an office referral for the month, and have no unexcused tardies or absences for the month. will be rewarded with a special treat. Monthly incentives will be posted on the PBIS bulletin board in the main hallway and throughout the school. 

Four times a year at the conclusion of each nine weeks grading period- Students who have maintained a weekly average of A or B in conduct for the nine weeks grading period, without a D or F daily conduct grade for any given day, have not received a bus/office referral, have no unexcused tardies or absences during the nine weeks grading period will be rewarded with a conduct reward. Event details will be decided on each 9 weeks by the PBIS committee.

Twice a year – At the end of each semester -Fall semester (December)/ Spring semester (May), students who maintained a weekly conduct average of A for each week of the semester will be invited to attend a special “A” conduct event. 

Classrooms may create their own acknowledgement systems to compliment the school wide systems with approval from the administration.

Each class will determine one student to represent their class as student of the month. Student names will be posted on the parent newsletter each month. Students will receive a yard sign to be taken home.
