School-wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) is a proactive approach aimed at creating safe and effective learning environments in schools.

SWPBS recognizes the importance of preventing misbehavior, teaching the school-wide rules, and reinforcing good behavior.

When a teacher or staff member at Woodland School catches a student being “Respectful,” being “Responsible,” or being “Ready,” they can reinforce that good behavior with a Teepee Ticket.

 Parent volunteers play an important role in the SWPBS process.
