The safety and well being of our students is our top priority. All Ascension students and faculty participate in the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS). PBIS is a whole-school program that has been proven to prevent and reduce bullying throughout a school setting, and is designed to improve peer relations and make schools safer, more positive places for students to learn and develop. PBIS "is a framework of principles that can be used to increase the desired level of important social and learning outcomes. It uses data based decision making and problem solving orientation."
Faculty workshop the program through staff development days. Define. Teach. Remind. Celebrate. Correct. Through the PBIS initiative, Ascension students also are recognized for their positive behavior with "charges" and those "charges" then may result in rewards for the students. The positive recognition for positive behavior.
