Positive Behavior Support
Positive Behavior Support (PBiS) is a broad range of systematic and individualized strategies for achieving important social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior. At Gentry, we are striving to support our students with this proactive approach to expectations. Gentry has in place a system of the top four expectations we feel students must possess in order to reach both social and academic goals. These four expectations are, Respectful, Responsible, Kind and Safe. Within each of these goals are standards for student behavior in all areas of our building.The four expectations at Gentry are known as the “RRKS”. The RRKS are embedded in student activities, as well as in procedures used to address various areas of student behavior. Because this is fundamental in supporting school and district goals, we strive to maintain these standards to make Gentry a great place to learn.
