Positive Behavior Support

School Wide Positive Behavior Support is a proactive approach to put behavioral/social skills strategies in place for all students while also building in support for those at risk and/or those who receive special education services. The goal of this program is to build positive relationships with students while outlining/explaining building-wide expectations.  One of the many aspects of this program is the earning of RRAP tickets for making good choices. RRAP (Respectful, Ready to learn, Accountable, Positive) tickets can be awarded by any staff member and the tickets can be redeemed for various privileges and/or rewards.
