PBIS is our school wide behavior system that we use at Fairmont School.
The philosophy of this program is that by recognizing and rewarding students for positive behavior through tickets, positive praise and rewards, students will begin to form intrinsic motivation to behave in a positive way.
This will help build upon our positive learning environment in all areas of the school.
Through the PBIS program, Fairmont has developed a common language for behavior expectations in each area of the school: the classroom, hallways, MPR, playground, office, bathroom, library and computer lab.
When you are on campus, you will see the Spartan Code banners which explain the expectations for all areas of our school. Each child is familiar with the Spartan Code expectations:
SHOW RESPECT, BE RESPONSIBLE, DO YOUR PERSONAL BEST, ALWAYS LEARN, FIND A VICTORY.
