At Eastwood Elementary, we proudly follow the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework as part of East Alton School District #13’s commitment to creating a safe, respectful, and effective learning environment for ALL students. PBIS is a proactive, data-driven system focused on: ✅ Teaching and reinforcing positive behavior ✅ Using data to guide behavioral supports ✅ Creating consistent school-wide expectations 🔹 Tier 1: All students are taught school-wide expectations through routines, modeling, and social-emotional learning. 🔹 Tier 2: Some students receive targeted support like Check-In/Check-Out or small group interventions. 🔹 Tier 3: A few students may need individualized, intensive behavior plans based on their specific needs. By focusing on prevention instead of punishment, we help students build lifelong skills and support a positive school culture. Want to learn more? Visit our website or check out the PBIS flyer attached here! Together, we can help every student shine!

Throughout the year, our students will be learning and practicing what it means to be an Oiler. O – Own Your Actions We take responsibility for our choices and always do our best to make things right. I – Include Others We welcome everyone, show kindness, and make sure others feel like they belong. L – Listen and Learn We listen carefully, follow directions, and come to school ready to learn each day. E – Engage Responsibly We participate, stay focused, and make choices that help ourselves and others succeed. R – Respect People and Property We treat others with kindness and care for our school, classrooms, and materials. S – Stay Safe We make safe choices, keep our hands, feet, and objects to ourselves, and help create a safe environment for everyone. These expectations aren't just for our students—they're a commitment we share as a school community. When our students, staff, and families work together to model these values, we build a culture where everyone can succeed. Thank you for partnering with us as we work together to make this an amazing school year. Together, we are proud to be O.I.L.E.R.S.!
