Supporting the PBIS Program at Webster Elementary
Representatives of the Elks Lodge and Ancient City Jeepers recently presented Webster Elementary School with a check to support the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Program at the school.
PBIS is used by schools to support their students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented, PBIS has been shown to improve social-emotional competence, academic success, and the overall school climate. It also improves the health and well-being of teachers. It is a method of creating positive, equitable, and safe learning environments where everyone thrives.
