The mission of the TJMS PBIS team is to foster and promote a safe and positive school environment that enhances student learning through the Jaguar Way by teaching and recognizing positive behaviors of Respect, Responsibility, and Safety.

What is PBIS?

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is a process for creating school environments that are more predictable and effective for achieving academic and social goals.  PBIS will enhance our current systems and practices, as well as change our culture for the better.

How Does PBIS Work?

Rewarding Expected Behaviors

PAW TICKETS
Students earn paw tickets by following the expected behaviors in varied environments. We reference data to target environment areas that need re-teaching.

SCHOOL STORE
Every Friday, students are able to use their paw tickets to purchase items at our school store during lunch.

MONTHLY RAFFLES
Students are able to use their paw tickets to enter into monthly raffles.

SCHOOL-WIDE CELEBRATIONS
We believe in celebrating the Jaguar Way together with our entire school. We hold our Jaguar Jamboree, a student vs. staff basketball game and play Minute to Win It games.
 

School Store

TJMS has a School Store, which is run by our PBIS committee. The students earn “Paw” tickets throughout their school day by demonstrating positive behaviors, and they can spend their Paw tickets on items that are for sale at the store. Behaviors that warrant earning Paw tickets include demonstrating kindness and responsibility. We stock the School Store with two categories of items. One is general school supplies, including computer mice, earbuds, staplers, rulers, pencil sharpeners, pens, and pencils. The other category are gadgets such as sensory items, magnetic games, rubix cubes, art supplies, gift certificates, and other fun items.
