Section 1B: Positive Behavioral Intervention & Support Program and Expectations

STUDENT CONDUCT/DISCIPLINE Refer to the Grayson County Public Schools’ Student Code of Conduct.

PBIS is a Commonwealth of Virginia initiative to support positive academic and behavioral outcomes for all students; reducing the amount of time spent dealing with discipline, thereby increasing the time spent teaching and learning. PBIS ultimately impacts the very culture of the school to shift attention to positive behavior and successful learning systems for students, teachers, and administrators.
