Parent Support Video – What is PBIS Rewards?
My child’s school is using PBIS Rewards, but I have some questions.
- What is PBIS?
- What is PBIS Rewards?
- What is the PBIS Rewards Family App?
Watch this family app support video to learn more about PBIS, PBIS Rewards, and how your child’s school is using them to build a positive school climate.
The Main Street Academy is utilizing PBIS Rewards to support its PBIS initiative. That sounds great, but what is PBIS? PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports. It seeks to reduce or eliminate poor behavior schoolwide through the encouragement of positive behaviors. PBIS decreases office discipline referrals, increases instructional time, and improves student achievement. This intentional focus on positive reinforcement is creating and maintaining a positive school climate for the students and teachers.
Now, how does PBIS Rewards help with that? PBIS Rewards is a digital platform that allows our staff members to recognize any student, anywhere for meeting behavior expectations. These behavior expectations are defined by the school then communicated and taught. So, when your child displays the behavior that is expected, they are recognized for it. The points earned through that recognition may be used to purchase items from the school’s PBIS store.
How does that benefit you, the parent? As a parent, you can monitor your child’s progress and stay engaged with the PBIS Rewards Parent App! Download it for free on Google Play, the App Store, or Amazon Apps. Adding your child is simple. You’ll receive an email or letter with a QR code from your school. Open the PBIS Rewards Parent App and scan this QR code. If you have multiple children using PBIS Rewards at their school, you will be able to add each one separately. Once your child is added to your PBIS Rewards Parent App, you will be able to see how many points they have earned, which teacher rewarded them, and how they’re spending their points. The App also has a convenient way to respond to messages sent by your child’s teachers. Plus, if the school is using our Advanced Referral System, you will be able to see if your student receives any discipline referrals. PBIS Rewards is helping your child’s school create a positive climate in which every student can learn and grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The PBIS Rewards Parent App is a great tool for you to stay connected and engaged with the PBIS initiative. If you need more information, contact a PBIS administrator at your child’s school.
