School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and
Supports (SWPBS) at Tawanka
SWPBS
is a program that focuses on prevention through the creation of a school
culture that is positive, safe, predictable and consistent.
The goal of SWPBS is to create a social culture in our
school that will encourage positive behavior and interactions while
discouraging problem behaviors. This social culture will lead to a safe
environment where students achieve academically and build positive
relationships with each other and adults. The foundation of the approach
emphasizes teaching students the behaviors we expect to see, providing
reminders when needed, and acknowledging expected behaviors.

Elementary School SWPBS Mission Statement
Ensure
SWPBS is implemented with continued fidelity, by exhibiting
Respectful, Responsible, and Safe behaviors throughout
the school environment.
What is a Tawanka Token? What is the Principal's Board?
At Tawanka, our children are encouraged to be Empowered
Tawanka Eagles. This means they do their best to be:
Respectful
Responsible
Safe
Students who are randomly caught following our school
expectations receive a Tawanka Token Sticker and a SPECIAL certificate. Later
that day, their names are posted on the Principal's Challenge Board! Each week
five students are randomly chosen to receive a small prize. The Principal’s
Challenge also occurs each month. One student per grade level is selected
randomly for a larger prize.
Thank you parents and guardians in our school community for
your support and reinforcement at home!
