PBIS Mission Statement
To create a positive, consistent and fair environment
that is conducive to learning and fosters responsible,
self-disciplined students.
1
PBIS Virtue Chart
All teachers will be required to use the same chart in all grade levels and
classes.
 Each student will begin with a 10 at the beginning of the day and lose a
point for not showing virtuous behavior.
 One warning will be given per day.
 A virtue point cannot be taken for incomplete homework or not having
the planner signed.
 Only 2 points can be taken during a subject time. For example: In lower
grades the teacher can only take 2 points during reading. In
departmentalized grades, the teacher can only take 2 points per class
period.
 Students can earn 1 point back a day for showing virtuous behavior. NO
BONUS POINTS CAN BE EARNED. This will be documented on the PBIS
chart as a +1.
 The student’s virtue score will be written in the planner for grades 2-6
and on a daily calendar Pre-K thru 1st grade.
 Teachers are required to keep all virtue charts in their PBIS binder. PBIS
charts will be monitored and used for further disciplinary action if
needed.
KIR (Recess)
All grade levels will be required to have a KIR room at their assigned recess
time. Each KIR room must have a duty teacher to supervise students.
 Students who have a 7 or lower virtue point in one day, will be sent to
KIR the following day.
 During KIR time, students will be required to complete a behavior
reflection page. On the back they are to write sentences using the virtue
words. Lower elementary students can draw a picture of someone being
virtuous.
 Parental contact is required when a student is sent to KIR. This can be a
note in the planner, an email or a phone call.
 Students who attend KIR 3 days a week should receive a discipline
referral to the office.
2
 Students who refuse to cooperate in KIR will receive a discipline referral.
 KIR can be used for students who have incomplete homework or tests. T
 KIR students are not allowed to leave the KIR room once they leave.
PBIS Binder
All teachers are to use the supplied PBIS binder to store all PBIS materials.
 A J. I. Barron enrollment sheet must be kept on each student.
 A communication log is to be kept on each student.
 All virtue charts are to be kept in the binder.
 When a student is referred to the office, the binder needs to accompany them
to the office.
BEAR BUCKS Reward System
Team: Moreau, Beach, Buell, Maxey, Bruce)
 Let’s build good character by building better students at JI Barron!
Implementing Bear Bucks Reward System:
This reward system is designed to increase students’ virtuous behavior and utilize positive
reinforcement.
Our team will model how to teach a character building lesson to our faculty. Teachers will
organize what they already do with rewarding students in a positive way! Daily
teaching/discussions/reflections with our students will help promote virtuous students. Students
need to know what each virtue means and some examples of each virtue.
During this daily teaching/discussions/reflections, teachers can create anchor charts with
students to help students understand good character. Teachers use vocabulary during these
reflections and tell students what we expect at JI Barron.
As students are being taught how to be virtuous, they will be rewarded by showing virtuous
behavior using Bear Bucks! These bucks will be given out to teachers as needed. Students will
write his/her name on it and have his/her teacher initial it. Bear Bucks will be used to spend on
some type of reward throughout the school year.
Earn your bucks! It
Students Earn Bear Bucks By:
pays to be virtuous!
 Keeping a DAILY virtue score of 10 (1 Bear Buck each day)
 Keeping a WEEKLY virtue score of 45-50 (1 Bear Buck on
Friday)
 Planner signed 4 days (all week) (1 Bear Buck on Friday)
 Exhibiting any virtuous behavior at any time during the day, by any staff/faculty member
at Barron-for example, showing compassion, being kind, persevering (1 Bear Buck)
3
Organizing Bear Bucks:
 Students can simply keep their bucks in a Ziploc bag, labeled with his/her name, and
keep in his/her desk or stapled in a binder or notebook. Each teacher may find his/her
own way to organize them. However, every student is held responsible for keeping up
with his/her own Bear Bucks.
 Teachers need to document every day’s virtue score on chart provided. You will receive a
clipboard also. This documentation needs to be kept for our records and teachers will be
required to keep weekly charts in PBIS binder. Charts will be monitored.
Spending Bear Bucks:
We have determined weekly, monthly, semester prizes for our reward system. Students
will have the opportunity to “spend” Bear Bucks as they are earned:
 Visit to BSU (Barron Student Union)-WEEKLY (Free play time, scheduled)
 Cash Out Days -approximately EVERY 3 WEEKS (Such as dress days, free
privileges)… ***These “cash out days” will be announced!
 Barron Store-EVERY 9 WEEKS (Students can purchase items with Bear Bucks)
 Teacher Choice Awards-At teacher discretion, teacher can make up own rewards for
“cashing in” in the classroom. (examples-Stinky Feet, treat, special seat, line leader, etc)
BARRON STUDENT UNION
Upper Team Leader-Bonnette
Members-Pooser, Goss, Craig, Beaubouef
Implementation of Barron Student Union:
The BSU is designed to reinforce positive behavior and build character at J. I. Barron. Students
in grades 3-6 will use the upper BSU. As the Barron teachers incorporate virtues into their daily
curriculum, students who exemplify exceptional virtue scores throughout the week will be
rewarded with a weekly opportunity to use the BSU. We know everyone makes mistakes;
therefore, students may earn their way to the BSU using Bear Bucks.
How can a student get to use the student union?
Students can earn the opportunity to visit the student union in two ways:
 Keeping a weekly virtue score of 10s (10 every day of the week)
 Cashing in 20 Bear Bucks (every 3 weeks)
Documentation:
4
 Teachers need to document daily the virtue score on the virtue chart. This chart
will be kept for our records, and teachers may be asked to turn it in to the office.
 Teachers will compile a weekly list of students in their homeroom who are
eligible to use the student union for the week. This list will be given to the BSU
duty teacher to make sure only those eligible enter on the days allowed.
 Teachers will add to the list the names of the students who cash in Bear Bucks to
use the BSU.
Other uses of the BSU:
 The BSU may also be used by individual teachers or groups to reinforce positive
and virtuous behaviors (to be determined for use at a later time).

PBIS Semester Parties
Parties are for students that have maintained a Virtue score of 9 or 10 in
behavior for 2 nine weeks or one semester. Party planning and implementation
are up to the PBIS committee and are held at the conclusions of the first and
second semesters (January and May). Name of participants will be submitted
by classroom teachers by email two weeks prior to the party. Names can be
removed prior to the party if students do not maintain a 9 or 10 virtue score in
behavior.
*Any student with a Discipline Referral Form within date range will be
excluded from the Semester Rewards. No exceptions!
Teacher’s Choice Rewards
Teachers can give Teacher Rewards throughout the day, whenever a reward is
due. There is no limit to the number or types of rewards allowed to be given.
Some classes utilize marble jars, racetracks, clothespins, candy jars, treasure
chests, etc for their reward programs. Continue with your current system to
reach established goals. Don’t forget to let them know what they are working
for! Allow for student choice. Teachers may decide when to issue which type
of reward but should still allow students to choose between at least two
things.
Student of the Week
Each week the teacher will nominate one student as their class student of the
week. A poster will be given to every student at the beginning of the year.

the week. The winner will be announced Monday morning during
announcements. The JI Barron student of the week will be featured on the

Character Education
Barron teachers, you are the best at meeting the academic and behavioral needs of all of our
students. You are constantly striving to make your students great citizens. With your help,
Barron’s PBIS program will continue to nurture outstanding character in each student.
During the year we are asking a different grade level to help teach and reinforce virtuous
behavior. Below you will find your grade level followed by a date and a list of virtue words. We
are asking teachers and their students to prepare a week’s worth of daily good character
announcements. Please use one or more of the virtue words you have been given to prepare a
one to two minute story, lesson, skit, etc. that can be shared with the school. Your students
may present them during morning announcements or you may send them to the office to be
read by administration.
