In 2011, Oakmont High School made a shift to PBIS. At Oakmont, we have established the term Viking Expectations to encompass behavioral and attitudinal expectations conveyed in a positive format (Choose Respect, Be Responsible, Have Integrity, and Actively Engage). OHS Viking Expectations are introduced and reviewed at the start of each school year. Reinforcement of individual student behaviors is provided through Viking Expectations reward cards which are entered in the weekly VE lottery drawing. Winning students are then able to choose from tangible rewards, the favorite being a Starbucks gift card. Teachers report and intervene when they witness bullying and other disrespectful behavior in the classroom. Our updated Aeries system allows for teachers to document minor infractions of the PBIS expectations and document interventions they have provided to the student. This reporting system will allow staff access to behavioral intervention data that allows the PBIS team valuable data. PBIS has facilitated positive change for our students and staff and an overall shift to a more positive school culture.
