Joshua Tree Elementary School was
recently awarded its second consecutive platinum status for the
success of its positive behavior program during a recent San
Bernardino County PBIS Showcase. Reporter Andrew Dieleman explains…
The Positive Behavioral Interventions
and Support program, or PBIS, is an advanced school-wide discipline
program that uses proactive strategies for teaching and positively
reinforcing appropriate student behaviors to create positive school
environments. Joshua Tree Elementary School was presented with its
second consecutive platinum status award for its outstanding
implementation of the program. Of the 218 schools from 33 different
districts awarded, Joshua Tree elementary was one of only six schools
presented with Platinum status, the highest level status that the
coalition can give to a school.
Five other MUSD schools received Silver
level honors from the PBIS Coalition this year: Condor Elementary,
Landers Elementary, Palm Vista Elementary, Twentynine Palms High
School, and Twentynine Palms Junior High School.
