The Niles City School District has been involved in extensive school-wide PBIS training. The framework is designed to create effective systems to teaching while addressing academic, behavioral, and social-emotional skills within buildings. The systematic approach is geared towards positive communications and practices improving outcomes for ALL students through a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS).
The process focuses on four integrated elements:
- Data collection for decision making
- Evidence based interventions and practices that support varying student needs which is multi-tiered
- Systems that efficiently and effectively support implementation of these practices
- Continual progress monitoring to ensure outcomes are met

The main focus of PBIS is an evidence-based, data-driven, multi-tiered framework to provide a clear system for all expected behaviors at Niles Primary School. While many faculty and students may have assumptions about what is expected behavior, we cannot assume that everyone's beliefs are similar. Through PBIS, we will work to create and maintain a productive, safe environment in which ALL school community members have clear expectations and understandings of their role in the educational process.
Through PBIS, we can set the tone for our students' day, and assist throughout the day with achieving positive behavior goals. We can aid our students in preparing for school as well as allowing them to unwind at the end of the day. We are encouraging and developing Niles Red Dragons amongst our students and staff.
Additional information about the PBIS process at Niles Primary School can be found in the Student Handbook.
