Honey Island Elementary SchoolPBS Behavior Philosophy

• At Honey Island Elementary School, we focus on developing positive behaviors which will be most conducive to learning. We expect everyone to take personal responsibility for the attitudes they choose each day. Positive behavior is fed, nourished, and exchanged by being there for each other. Everyone is given opportunities to model, role play, and practice expected behaviors. We regularly look for opportunities to make each other’s day by acknowledging each other, not only for what they achieve but for who they are. They are free to have fun and experiment with new ideas and feel safe to make mistakes that lead to effective learning.

• All people in this environment are committed to coaching each other to live a shared vision each day!

Honey Island Elementary SchoolPBS Incentive Programs

CHAMPOs: As part of our CHAMPs behavior management model CHAMPO boards are used. Each classroom has a 25 square CHAMPO board displayed. When students show they are following the class CHAMPs board for expectations the teacher calls a CHAMPO moment. A number is pulled and that square is marked. Classes celebrate for each row completed, like Bingo. The school also has a CHAMPO board of 100 squares. The class turns in a form when their entire 25 square board is filled. A number is pulled for the school board on WHIE TV. Once the school board is filled a school wide celebration will occur.

II. GOOD NEWS CALLS: Teachers will submit Good News forms of students needing a special boost for the day. Once the form is turned in an administrator will make a personal call home commending that student for good behavior.

III. BUZZ BUCKS PROGRAM: Buzz Bucks will be given to students who demonstrate appropriate positive behavior and follow school expectations. These are posted throughout the school on CHAMPs boards. Teachers and staff members should let the student know why he/she has earned the Buzz Buck. Students can not ask for a Buzz Buck. Only one Buzz Buck can be given each time a positive behavior is rewarded. Buzz Bucks can be redeemed once a week on a designated day for prizes at the Honey Hive Store. Prizes can be viewed in the 100 hallway in the glass window display. Buzz Bucks must be spent by the end of the 9 weeks. Colors change each nine weeks. A Buzz Buck drawing is held quarterly with all of the Buzz Bucks cashed in that quarter. Students should write their first and last name on all Buzz Bucks. Buzz Bucks can not be shared or given away.
