PBIS CELEBRATIONS!

Last week’s competition was once again by grade level! The prize is the ability to pie one of our administrators in front of the whole student body!! We will draw a name from  those students who are here every day to pie your administrators. One lucky winner from each grade level! The grade with the best attendance percentage will pick their administrator first! Be here and be on time!

Such a close close race! We are so proud of you all, that we have decided to give you ALL a DJ lunch and 6th grade will also get a special treat for coming in first!

The Holland Public School district is focused on celebrating positive behavior in all of our buildings. This is done by a system referred to as Positive Behavior Intervention System/Supports, PBIS.

In overview, here at the middle school the system is set up so students can receive points for their positive behavior that aligns with the district matrix of D.U.T.C.H., Diverse, United, Thrive, Committed, and Honorable. Students can then save these points to be spent at their PBIS School Store or in a school-wide raffle. The school stores are open weekly by grade level and consist of snacks, little toys, stickers, drinks, and teacher passes. Raffles are held once a month for big ticket items. During the first semester our students were recognized in all the different areas of our matrix. Here are the stats as of January 22:
