Scholastic Book Fair This Week! The first Scholastic Book Fair will be held at the elementary the week of September 9th thru the 13th.
Dear Parents and Students,
Portsmouth West Elementary School maintains the Positive Behavioral Interventions and
Supports (P.B.I.S.) program to further support our Character Education program. We will
continue to highlight and celebrate positive behavior through our reward systems. P.B.I.S. also
supplies students with skills to handle potentially negative situations and think about the best
course of action.
Having a school-wide behavioral approach incorporates everyone. Students are able to see
that we all support them and equally contribute to our school’s success and safety. The
students and staff have constant reminders of the P.B.I.S. expectations placed at high visibility
areas throughout the school. These expectations form a grid covering behavior associated for
specific areas which include: classrooms, hallways, restrooms, cafeteria, recess, and all other
areas.
Portsmouth West Elementary has adopted the acronym W.E.S.T. (Work Ethic, Engagement,
Safety, Teamwork). When you exhibit a positive desired behavior, we will reward you with a
raffle ticket, which we call a “Senator Buck”. Students earning Senator Bucks will be entered
into a weekly drawing for rewards.
Students will have the opportunity to show off their outstanding behavior and citizenship in all
extra-curricular activities. We expect our students to exhibit Senator Pride in all situations, at
school and in all community settings.
During the month of September, we will kick off our PBIS program with a five-week booster
activity. For each of these five weeks, we will review our behavioral expectations daily. Each
week will focus on a different theme (letter of our W.E.S.T. acronym). We are going to ask our
students to show school spirit and wear orange and black on Fridays to show their Senator
spirit. Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Portsmouth West Elementary Staff
Go Senators!!!
