The Positive Behavior Intervention Support model used at Wolcott Elementary School is designed to help students develop self-discipline and strong social skills within a positive school climate. To achieve that goal, the PBIS Team has developed a matrix of expectations across school settings. These expectations will be directly taught to all students during the first week of school and re-taught as needed throughout the year.

An important element of our PBIS implementation is an ongoing program of school-wide celebrations. Based on both group and individual Responsible, Respectful, and Safe behavior, celebrations allow us to recognize all that is going well here. To that end, we have implemented an “Eagle Stamp” system of daily checks and communication concerning a student’s success at being Responsible, Respectful, and Safe.
