Mission Statement
Created by the PBIS team
From this mission statement we developed
student expectations-- gave us a focus
At Cass Lake-Bena we teach, model, and
celebrate positive behaviors and achievements
that lead to success in school, home, and
community.

Key Features for 2014-2015:

1. Setting clear, consistent positive expectations
2. Teaching, modeling, and practicing those expectations throughout the
entire school (including classrooms, hallways, lunchrooms, etc., even the
bathroom).
3. Systematically recognizing when the expectations are being
demonstrated well.
- We will explain each feature of PBIS and will be asking for your participation
throughout the presentation.

1. Setting Expectations
Identified positive school wide behavior expectations
Rational: We want to build habits that will be helpful in
the future for our students.
o Questions we asked when creating expectations
What do we want to see our students doing so
they will be successful?
What are our priorities?
Why are they important?
