RESERVE — West St. John Elementary School celebrated the grand opening of its P.B.I.S store Aug. 31.
Short for Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports, the P.B.I.S. effort encourages positive behavior by allowing students to earn RAM bucks daily.
Students who have earned RAM bucks thus far have already cashed them in for awesome prizes during their enrichment time.
The P.B.I.S. Team purchased prizes that assist students academically, as well as with continued positive behavior.
A couple of useful items in particular are ear buds and small backpacks. Students may use the ear buds while working on educational programs in the computer lab, and they can fill their backpacks with additional school supplies and resources.
The P.B.I.S. program continues to be a successful motivator for positive student behavior as it minimizes discipline problems, school leaders said.
