Positive Behavior Intervention Support

Ann K. Heiman Elementary School is a school dedicated to creating a successful learning environment for all students through a system of Positive Behavior Support. In all grades and all classrooms, we use the PBIS system to encourage and develop problem solving skills and good behaviors. 

There are four basic guidelines for students to follow at Ann K. Heiman:

• Be Respectful
• Be Safe
• Be Responsible
• Be Kind

Anti-Bullying Policies

Bullying in schools is a real concern of students, parents, staff and community members. Anti-bullying efforts have been aligned with our PBIS systems here at Ann K. Heiman. We adhere to the Bullying in Schools - board policy JICDE regarding bullying prevention and education in our school. We currently utilize a K-5 curriculum called "Bullying Prevention in Positive Behavior Support." This program utilizes a system of "Stop, Walk and Talk" to help not only victims of bullying but bystanders and bullies themselves to know what to do when bullying has occurred. The mission here is to give students the tools to reduce bullying behavior through the blending of school-wide positive behavior support, explicit instruction, and a redefining of the bullying construct.
