HEALTHY CULTURE
In Lorain City Schools, we believe that creating a warm and caring environment encourages our students to see our classrooms and buildings as their daily destination.
That's why we have kicked up our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) approach with a district-wide initiative built around kindness this school year.
Why kindness? Because we believe that as we increase kindness across the district, we will decrease the behaviors that interfere with positive environments.
PBIS | KINDNESS
Here are some approaches we use to incorporate our PBIS approach into our attendance campaign.
Rewarding students for acts of kindness, especially when they are Kind to Self, Kind to Others, and Kind to their Environments. You will see this reward system play out in our buildings in different ways, from celebrations to game days, extra recess, or just a positive note sent to the office; we aim to recognize our students for the kindness they bring to our buildings.
