Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS) Program
Panther principles are kindness, commitment and safety
PBIS Coach
Glasgow’s Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS) program teaches students the behavior expectations in our school community. Our Panther Principles are Kindness, Commitment and Safety. These are the values we talk about regularly with our students, and we invite you to have similar conversations at home.
Our PBIS Matrix below describes our expectations in more detail and is posted in every classroom in the Glasgow MS building. Use this document at home to talk to students about what matters most at Glasgow and how they can be a Positive Panther!
