Cimarron’s
Cheetah P.R.I.D.E
Cimarron
Elementary has an
exciting program called Positive
Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). It is a proactive approach to
school-wide discipline. This program is meant to reinforce positive behaviors
of students on campus “Showing Cheetah P.R.I.D.E.” P.R.I.D.E.
is the acronym for the campus wide behavior expectation. It stands for P, Purpose; R, Respect; I, Integrity; D,
Dependable, and E, Effort. The staff at Cimarron are always encouraging our
students to display these behavior every day and in every area at school.
The students have been and will
continue to earn Cheetah bucks,
when a staff member catches him or her exhibiting the Cheetah P.R.I.D.E
throughout the school day. This could happen in the classroom, halls,
cafeteria, playground, or any other area on the school grounds. The students
then may use their Cheetah bucks to purchase special items and privileges from
their teachers or the Cheetah store. Below is an example classroom menu from 5th
grade. When students earn a Cheetah buck, they are being told specifically what positive characteristic they are exhibiting!
We have a Behavior Matrix for what is expected in all areas of the
building to helpthe student know what P.R.I.D.E. looks like. The students went on a tour at the beginning
of the year to practice these behaviors and received a passport for their
commitment to their success!
PBIS involves the entire staff, all
students, and the school community. It
is the interaction of all these variables that make it a success. I hope this blog gives you a quick glimpse
into the PBIS program that will continue to help our students become positive
contributors to our school! Should you have any questions, please contact our
PBIS Coordinator/Behavior Interventionist for our campus, Courtney Jaynes or
your student’s teacher. Mrs. Jaynes works with individual staff and students as
well, to create plans for growth and success!
