Zablocki School PBIS Expectations

From daily announcements to colorful posters in many languages, Zablocki School proudly shares our PBIS expectations.

• Be Safe.
• Be Responsible.
• Be Respectful.

Staff teach and model these expectations for students. Positive reinforcement, from monthly PBIS award ceremonies to special field trips, makes student recognition and community celebration part of our school culture.

Bringing PBIS from School to Home

Communicate with your child’s teachers or our parent coordinator to learn more about PBIS at Zablocki School.

Think about how PBIS can work in your home, and how to recognize your child’s PBIS success. In school and at home, consistency and positivity are key.

Creating Communities of Care Through Restorative Practices

Social-emotional lessons teach students about self-reflection, self-regulation, critical thinking, and healthy communication as they learn to build, maintain and repair relationships. Zablocki School brings together social-emotional lessons and restorative practices, which can help students meet PBIS expectations. Restorative practices are reshaping how we work together as a school community to demonstrate care and achieve shared goals.

• A restorative practices coach consults with our school part time.
• Students and staff will co-create shared agreements centering respect, safety and responsibility.
• Students and teachers begin their day with sharing circles.
• Calming corners in every classroom gives students space to safely reflect and refocus when necessary.
• Anyone attending a Community School Leadership Team or Family Leadership Organization meeting learns to use restorative practices by using a balanced agenda that honors the whole person.
