At Brookside, we use Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) to lead our students to be a great example of The Blue Jay Way! We help our students know what that means by reciting the SOAR Mantra:
Staff give students Chirps (large blue tickets) to highlight and honor student successes as they SOAR! Feel free to ask your child about SOAR and how it applies to working in the classroom, transitioning in the hallway, using the restroom, playing outside, or other places and activities around our campus.
For students in grades K, 1, and 2, Chirps are put into boxes near the cafeteria and are drawn at random during our daily announcements. Students who get their Chirp pulled can get a prize in the office that day. Our older students save Chirps and use them to purchase items or experiences at the Chirp Mobile Store that visits their classroom.
When you come to visit, you will see these signs around our school reminding our students to SOAR all around our campus:
