  • Kate Smith is a Platinum Level PBIS school.  
     
    Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive approach to improve school safety and promote positive behavior.   The focus of PBIS is prevention, not punishment.  
     
    At Kate Smith, students learn expected behaviors for each common area through explicit instruction and opportunities to practice and receive feedback. We use Cougar Cash and Classroom Positive Paws to reinforce students who are following our ROARS expectations (see the Matrix below).  If you have any questions about our PBIS program, please contact our school counselor, Lauren Frydman.
