Our staff teaches and promotes PBIS positive behavior with all students, every day. At Savannah, PBIS behavior expectations and practices are embedded every day, inside and outside the classrooms. Our students, the Savannah Dolphins, truly LEAD – Learn respectfully, Everyone is safe, Act responsibly, and Do their best!”

Shuey Principal, Mrs. Jan Brydle shared the following: “The students, teachers,
staff, and parents of Emma W. Shuey School are extremely honored to be recognized by the California PBIS Coalition for the successful implementation of PBIS at the platinum level. Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) is a critical component of student
success at Shuey School. Appropriate behaviors are explicitly taught with an emphasis on the positive! Expectations for behavior are consistently and clearly implemented schoolwide. Recognitions such as this are the result of the dedicated work of the entire Shuey School community. At Shuey School, we don’t just say “RESPECT Yourself, Others and the Environment”; we believe it and act upon it.”

In general, PBIS emphasizes four integrated elements: (a) data for decision making, (b) measurable outcomes supported and evaluated by data, (c) practices with evidence that these outcomes are achievable, and (d) systems that efficiently and effectively support implementation of these practices. Elements of PBIS are guided by six important principals:

• · Develop a continuum of scientifically based behavior, social emotional and academic interventions and supports
  · Use data to make decisions and solve problems
  · Arrange the environment to prevent the development and occurrence of problem behavior
  · Teach and encourage prosocial skills and behaviors
  · Implement evidence-based behaviors practices with fidelity and accountability
  · Screen universally and monitor student performance & progress continuously

The California PBIS Coalition appreciates the hard work and commitment of all the Rosemead School District schools for implementing PBIS with fidelity and creating the conditions to maximize academic and social behavioral outcomes for ALL students.
