Piney
Branch
takes
part
in
implementing
the
school-wide
PBIS
program,
a
multi-tiered
framework
designed
to
make
schools
operate
more
effectively
by
promoting
and
reinforcing
positive
behavior.
It
establishes
a
social
culture
and
the
behavior
supports
needed
to
improve
social,
emotional,
behavioral,
and
academic
outcomes
for
all
students.
PBIS
is
flexible
enough
to
support
student,
family,
and
community
needs.
This
year
the
PBIS
team
developed
a
new
system
that
highlights
students'
successes
by
meeting
them
where
they
are
and
is
centered
on
our
values
of
kindness,
care,
respect,
and
courage.
