HUNTER HILLS GUIDELINES FOR

SUCCESSRACE

Be Responsible

Be an Achiever

Be Cooperative

Be Excellent!

PBIS, stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. At Hunter Hills we believe that children must be able to cooperate and exhibit appropriate behavior in order to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to be successful. Our Positive Behavior program focuses on teaching and modeling behavior expectations. We refer to these expectations as, “Guidelines for Success.” Our guidelines for success are posted in every classroom and throughout the school. Students remember the guidelines through the acronym, RACE. Be Responsible, Be an Achiever, Be Cooperative, Be Excellent. We encourage parents to support and reinforce our positive behavior efforts. Hunter Hills is committed to improving your child’s learning environment.
