PBIS
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
Jackman Riverhawks are encouraged to: RISE
PBIS is designed to help create an environment to prevent the development and occurrence of problem behaviors and, more importantly, to teach and promote social skills and positive behaviors to students. The staff at Samuel Jackman understands the need for a safe and positive learning environment. At Samuel Jackman, student expectations for behavior are categorized under our four core values: Responsibility, Integrity, Strength, and Excellence. Our students are given explicit instructions and lessons on how to follow school rules in order to help them practice the skills necessary to be successful students and citizens at Samuel Jackman.
