PBIS AT HILLSIDE

The focus of  PBIS a Hillside is to tool to teach, reinforce and support positive behavior for all students.The Blue Jay Way: Be Respectful, Be Responsible and Be safe are the three school wide expected behaviors. Specific expectations are posted  in each area of the building to guide student behavior throughout the school. The behavior matrix outlines the universal expectations for all students & how the expectations should look throughout the school (i.e. in the hallways, classroom, at recess, bathroom, etc).  Students can earn Blue Jay Bucks by demonstrating the expected behaviors throughout the school day.
