Abraham Lincoln Elementary School Staff believes that all students have the right to learn in an appropriate and positive environment that is conductive to the learning process. As a district we follow the Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) model to support all students in their social and emotional development.

PBIS is a school wide approach to creating a safer, more effective school by establishing the social culture and individualized behavior supports needed for schools to be productive learning environments for all students. Improving student academic and behavior outcomes is about ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible.

PBIS provides an operational framework for achieving these outcomes. The foundation of PBIS is built on our three building-wide expectations: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe.

PBIS emphasizes five other main components: teaching behavior expectations, acknowledgement of positive behaviors, providing levels of interventions to suppport individual students, using data to make decisions, and consistent consequences for problem behaviors.
