PBIS
LAKERS ARE: Respectful, Safe & Accountable
The PLSAS Middle School community is dedicated to reaching the whole child at this important time in their life. Therefore, the PLSAS middle schools work to ensure that all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and intervention possible. Our PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Supports) initiative, provides our students and staff an incredible decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavioral outcomes for all students.
