Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports

A silver and teal California PBIS Platinum Implementation Award for 2024.

Letter of Platinum Recognition

At Chaparral Elementary School, we implement PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) to promote a safe and supportive learning environment. Our guiding principle is simple: “Follow the Four B's – Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Safe!” Throughout our campus, posters display clear examples of behavior expectations in different areas of the school, and staff are always excited and willing to help our students master their Bs. 

According to the Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports, positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives.

Administrators and staff are excited to share that in 2024, Chaparral achieved Platinum recognition! To achieve this monumental success, the school was required to demonstrate a high level of fidelity and effectiveness across all three tiers of the PBIS framework: (Tier 1), targeted (Tier 2), and individualized (Tier 3) supports.

The purpose of California PBIS is to establish a network for state education leaders, county offices, school districts and schools implementing multi-tiered frameworks through Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS). It is our intention to create professional learning communities for those dedicated to effective PBIS/MTSS implementation. Within these learning communities, implementation leaders  will  access information and support leading to desired academic, behavior, and social-emotional outcomes for all California students, families and communities. California PBIS is dedicated to providing a standard of practice for PBIS through the work of technical assistance centers across the state as well as through the use of a statewide PBIS Recognition System. These centers are committed to supporting you in implementing PBIS in your area.

California PBIS Technical support is given by California PBIS Regional Technical Assistance Centers representing Southern, Central, and Northern California. These regional centers work in direct collaboration with partners from the Center on PBIS. Support for California PBIS comes from the Center on PBIS and from the collaborative commitment of the California PBIS Core Leadership Team.

The California PBIS Regional Technical Assistance Centers focus on the critical features of team training, coaching and district implementation teams by developing the internal capacity of organizations to support sustainable practices following the key evidence-based PBIS features and the use of PBIS Applications to monitor fidelity and behavior data for decision making.

  • At Chaparral, we use Hot Shot Tickets to recognize and reward students who consistently follow the 3B expectations: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe. When a staff member observes a student demonstrating one of the 3Bs, they will fill out a Hot Shot Ticket and present it to the student as positive reinforcement.

    Students then place their tickets in their classroom’s Hot Shot bucket for a chance to be selected in the weekly PBIS drawing. Each week, two or more students from every class are chosen as winners and receive a special reward for their positive behavior.

  • Data helps us thrive! PBIS (Tiered Fidelity Inventory) and academics (California Dashboard) come together to meet the need of the whole child, ensuring students are in a safe, consistent, and positive environment, which contributes to academic growth and success.

    The Tiered Fidelity Inventory is a tool that is used by school site teams to determine implementation fidelity of the PBIS framework to best support student, staff, parent/guardian, and community need.  The California Dashboard provides information about how Local Educational Agencies and schools are meeting the needs of California’s diverse student population.

  • Request for Help and Support

    If you would like someone from our Counseling team to contact you, please answer the questions on the Request for Help and Support form as best as possible. Please remember that if you're having an emergency, call 911. Please remember school counselors practice confidentiality. That means that everything you and our counselor discuss is confidential unless it's disclosed that a student is in danger of any kind: hurting himself/herself or someone else is hurting them in any way.

  • Supports & Services

    The CVUSD offers a continuum of services, resources, and support for students and families, including mental health and school-based counseling.

  • Community Feedback

    Conducting a community feedback survey in K-12 education institutions is crucial for making data-driven decisions that improve the learning experience for students.
