John L. Ory Communication and Magnet Elementary School announces its PBS students of the month for September 2009 in kindergarten through eighth-grade.

PBS stands for positive behavior support. It is the application of evidence-based strategies and systems to assist schools to increase academic performance, increase safety, decrease problem behavior, and establish positive school cultures.

Every month, Ory teachers will select a student of the month from each grade level. Students selected are manner able, respectful, follow school/classroom rules, comply with the dress code and model the Whale Done expectations of being well intentioned, having respect for self and others, always being prepared, living responsibly and eager to learn.
