POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION SUPPORT CARDINAL RED
Smitha has an exciting rewards program based on behavioral successes. This program offers great incentives such as Cardinal Cash to acknowledge appropriate and outstanding student behavior. The program promotes positive character to build skills that will help students be successful at Smitha Middle School and in life.
In conjunction with the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support program( PBIS), every Friday students participate in either Fresh Air Friday( FAF) or Cardinal Class. Fresh Air Friday is a 20-minute segment of time for students to go outside for fresh air, to move around, to play games, and to socialize with friends. Participation in FAF is outlined for students at the beginning of the school year. On alternate Fridays, students participate in Cardinal Class which is a 20-minute segment of time when students engage in interactive lessons and class discussions targeting issues such as conflict resolution, character building, and digital citizenship / cyber bulling.
Smitha’ s behavioral expectations are that as students you will commit to the following: ✓ Be prepared for class and work hard to do your best every day! ✓ Accept the consequences of your actions. ✓ Do your part to help keep the school clean and safe. When students fail to comply with these behavioral expectations, they are subject to tiered interventions and or
consequences which include conduct points. See chart below:
