Ely Paw Pride Pledge
At Washington Elementary,
We take responsibility for our learning and actions,
We treat each other with respect,
And we work together for a safe and cooperative school!
We are a PBIS and Responsive Classroom School
What does PBIS stand for?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
PBIS is best described as systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments. Instead of using a patchwork of individual behavioral management plans, a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within a
school is implemented in areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, restrooms).
Positive behavior support is an application of a behaviorally-based systems approach to enhance the capacity of
schools, families, and communities to design effective learning environments. Attention is focused on creating
and sustaining primary (school-wide), secondary (small group), and tertiary (individual) systems of prevention
and support that improves lifestyle results (personal, health, social, family, work, recreation) for all children and
youth by making problem behavior less effective, efficient, and relevant, and desired behavior more functional.

PBIS = Teaching expected behaviors to ALL students like we would teach Reading or Math.
What is Responsive Classroom?
The Responsive Classroom approach is a way of teaching that emphasizes social, emotional, and academic growth
in a strong and safe school community. Developed by classroom teachers, the approach consists of practical strategies for helping students build academic and social-emotional competencies day in and day out.

Core Belief
In order to be successful in and out of school, students need to learn a set of social and emotional competencies—
cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control—and a set of academic competencies—
academic mindset, perseverance, learning strategies, and academic behaviors.

Classroom and Behavior Expectations:
My expectations are consistent with the all-school Paw Pride expectations: Be Respectful,
Be Responsible, Be Cooperative, and Be Safe. Students need to be responsible in getting all
their materials and assignments to class on time. Students need to treat their peers and school
staff with respect. Students need to be safe at all times. Students also must cooperate with adults
and other students when they are working together. If I do have individual behavior problems,
I use a “Problem-Solution” slip. This form allows me to define the behavior which is causing a
problem, allows the student to respectfully comment in their defense and both of us to come up
with a solution to the problem. If we need to complete one of these, it will come home for you to
sign and return so that you can be having discussion about behavior at home as well. Serious
behaviors will result in office discipline referrals (ODR). If a student is constantly disrupting class
throughout the day they will receive an ODR. (3 or more redirections = ODR)
