Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an approach to teaching and supporting positive behaviors and meeting the needs of ALL students.  This school-wide approach to discipline focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students can learn.

The foundation of PBIS at R. L. Norton Elementary School is comprised of our three core values  (the 3Rs):

• Be Respectful
• Be Responsible
• Be Ready

The three major components of PBIS are:

• Teaching appropriate behavior in all settings.
• Interventions when behavior expectations are not met.
• Recognition when behaviors are met.
