Yargo’s PBIS: (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports)
Yargo encourages positive behavior. Our students are always Ready, Respectful, and Responsible. We use a clip system in our school throughout the classroom, lunchroom, and specials. Each teacher carries a “pride stick” for the class. Clips will be moved up and/or down throughout the day, depending on their behavior. At the end of the day, your child will be awarded a certain amount of points depending on what color they land on. The colors and points are as follows:
Blue: You are a leader! 3 points
Orange: You are ready to lead! 2 points
Green: You are ready to learn! 1 point
Yellow: Oops, you got off track. Try harder tomorrow! 0 points
