What is
SWPBS?
During 2008-2009, Surgoinsville Elementary School
began implementation of School-Wide Positive Behavior
Support (SWPBS). SWPBS is nationally
recognized, researched-based, and designed to enhance the
capacity of schools to educate all children by developing
school-wide, non-classroom, classroom, and individual
student discipline systems. SWPBS requires schools to
define, teach, and reinforce school rules to create a
positive school environment.
Surgoinsville
Elementary School has had 7 teachers trained by The
Partnership for Ed Excellence at the University of Tennessee
at Knoxville in the many facets of SWPBS.
Hawkins County is proud to be one of only 7 districts in
Tennessee to implement SWPBS district-wide. Our
school committee is made up of Mrs. Trent, Mrs. Bell, Mrs.
Brumett, Mrs. S. Christian, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Barton, and
Mrs. Winegar.
SWPBS focuses on prevention and
teaching expectations in order to provide a predictable,
safe, positive and consistent environment.
Surgoinsville
Elementary School's rules are
to be their BEST:
Be Respectful, Excel, Stay Safe, and
Take Responsibility.
Surgoinsville
Elementary School has dedicated significant attention
to systematically teaching its students the expected
behaviors.
With SWPBS, students are able to
earn
"BEST
Bucks" for various positive behaviors.
BEST Bucks
will be given to students when they are seen following
one of the school rules, thus allowing teachers and staff to
focus attention on appropriate behavior by students.
Students who have earned BEST Bucks will have the privilege
to attend the reward parties planned throughout the year and
can “cash in” their BEST Bucks for various prizes.
More information about School-Wide
Positive Behavior Support can be found in the
Departments section of Hawkins County Schools web site, or
