Warrior P.R.I.D.E.

What is it?

The goal of Warrior P.R.I.D.E. is to recognize student success in academics, behavior, and attendance. The three levels that student can obtain are the Ultimate Warrior, Gold Level, and Blue Level. All levels will be able to participate in sports, attend rallies, and dances. Students will also be eligible to win different prizes and incentives. The higher the level the more rewards and incentives the student will receive (first to lunch passes, BBQ,lunch time activities, etc.). Rallies will be held every quarter to celebrate students that obtain Warrior Pride.

1. “What is School-Wide PBIS?”
Improving student academic and behavior outcomesis about ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible.SWPBS provides an operational framework for achieving these outcomes. More importantly, SWPBS is NOT a curriculum, intervention, or practice, but IS a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, andimplementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students.

2.“What Does School-Wide PBIS Emphasize?”
In general,SWPBS emphasizes four integrated elements: (a) data for decision making, (b) measurable outcomes supported and evaluated by data, (c) practices with evidence that these outcomes are achievable, and (d) systems that efficiently and effective support implementation of these practices.

These four elements are guided by six important principles:

Develop a continuum of scientifically based behavior and academic interventions and supports
Use data to make decisions and solve problems
Arrange the environment to prevent the development and occurrence of problem behavior
Teach and encourage prosocial skills and behaviors
Implement evidence-based behavioral practices with fidelity and accountability
Screen universally and monitor student performance & progress continuously

3.What Outcomes are Associated with Implementation of PBIS?
Schools that establish systems with the capacity to implement SWPBS with integrity and durability have teaching and learning environments that are less reactive, aversive, dangerous, and exclusionary, and more engaging, responsive, preventive, and productive. Address classroom management and disciplinary issues (e.g., attendance, tardies, antisocial behavior), improve supports for students whose behaviors require more specialized assistance (e.g., emotional and behavioral disorders, mental health), and most importantly, maximize academic engagement and achievement for all students.

*In House Suspension and Suspensions will result in the loss of the student’s Warrior Pride Level according to the following guidelines:

1 Day Suspension/In House= Loss of level for 4 days.
2 Day Suspension = Loss oflevel for 8 days.
3 Day Suspension = Loss oflevel for 12 days.
4 Day Suspension = Loss oflevel for 16 days.
5 Day Suspension = Loss oflevel for 20 days.

If a student receives 2 suspensions equals loss of pride level for the entire quarter. 3 suspensions equal loss of warrior pride level for the remainder of the semester.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) or what we call (Warrior P.R.I.D.E.).

PBIS Rewards

PBIS Rewards is an automated, schoolwide PBIS management solution that helps Yuba Gardens eliminate paper tickets, create a digital token economy, and transform our PBIS program.

PBIS Rewards has a Parent App that will give you some insight into how your child is doing with respect to our PBIS program. The Parent App will run on most smart devices, including smartphones and tablets. You can find it in the iPhone/iPad App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon App Store. Just search for "PBIS Rewards Parent." Once you have installed the app, you can scan the QR Code (like the one below) in your student's planner or back of their ID card. You will have to confirm your relationship to STUDENT NAME by certifying that you are a parent or guardian. Once you have done this you will be able to see STUDENT NAME's progress with PBIS Rewards.

You can add more than one student to the app, even if they go to different schools, as long as the school is using PBIS Rewards. We encourage you to talk with your student about what they must do to be successful with PBIS Rewards and to encourage them when you see them being successful.
