Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS)

This week we launched our PBIS Rotations to teach students our school-wide expectations.

Amy
Today, students rotated through stations where they reviewed how Bobcats are Safe, Supportive,
Engaged, and Flexible. We’ll continue these rotations tomorrow and Friday.


Sandy
Students can earn Bobcat Tickets when they demonstrate these traits — along with Bilingual
Brilliance. We’re proud of how well our students are engaging with these expectations!

Discipline Flowchart

Please take a moment to review our Bobcat Flowchart, which outlines how we approach student discipline at Ventana Vista. You can find it in our Student Handbook. We believe in consistency
and clear expectations to support a positive learning environment.
