At Edwards, We Have PBIS
At École Edwards, everyone is a learner and a leader.
Our School-Wide PBIS Expectations are:
1) BE KIND/ NOUS SOMMES GENTIL
2) BE RESPONSIBLE / NOUS SOMMES RESPONSABLE
3) BE SAFE / NOUS SOMMES EN SÉCURITÉ
We strive to meet the needs of all children by using a whole child approach. The ‘Whole Child’ approach is an effort to transition from a focus on academic achievement to one that promotes the long-term development and success of all children under our care.
One of the foundations that will help to bolster this growth is the continued development of a sense of belonging for all through our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), which teaches students our 3 school-wide expectations, seen above. Please note: We are transitioning next year to a new, simplified, and more focused PBIS Matrix using these 3 key expectations, instead of the previous four expectations. Our visual above is currently a draft version.
Our PBIS Matrix is the foundation of our school’s character-building program and ensures that our school expectations are clear and attainable by all students. These expectations aim to be observable, measurable, and positive.
Our school recognizes the importance and the desire of all children to feel like they belong and are respected in their school community. All children have the desire to be loved and find a place where they fit in. At École Edwards we value each child, and it is so important for students to feel like they have a supportive community around them at school. This strong sense of community will give our students and staff a sense of belonging in the class with their peers, on the playground, and in their school community.
What makes our community strong is how we all support one another. We expect all students, staff, and parents to demonstrate leadership by: 1) showing belonging - nous appartenons, 2) showing care - nous sommes attentionnés, 3) being independent - nous sommes indépendent, and by 4) doing our best -nous faisons de notre mieux
