Positive Behavior Support System
This school year the Oskaloosa Elementary is focusing on Positive Behavior
Support. To do this, the elementary teachers are focusing on five key
words to help improve the behavior of all elementary students. These five key
words make up “Bear Pride . Bear Pride includes respect,
communication, responsibility, engaged in learning, and empathy.
During the first six weeks of school, teachers will be discussing and demonstrating
the meaning of each key word that make up “Bear Pride”. Then
throughout the school year new words will be introduced that are also related
to character building. Students will earn Bear Pride bucks when they demonstrate
knowledge of these words through their actions and behaviors in the classroom/gym,
on the playground, in the hallways, on the bus, in the cafeteria, at restroom
breaks, in specials, and at assemblies. Help reinforce these positive
behaviors at home and in the community.
Thank you,
