Trojan Pride Fix-It Form
Students are doing a fine job showing Trojan Pride as part of our PBIS program. However, from time to time a student needs some extra work in showing Trojan Pride. We are just beginning to implement our Trojan Pride Fix-It Form. This is a form that will be used to record problem behaviors that students may be showing. Some behaviors will be dealt with in class with no form being filled out. These are called Minor Problem Behaviors. Sometimes, these behaviors repeat often enough that a staff member might write up a form to communicate to parents and to begin documentation of what supports we have given to students.

There are also Major Problem Behaviors that are dealt with in the office. These are behaviors that warrant a conversation with either Mrs. Banks (social worker) or Mr. Fredrickson (principal).

The Trojan Pride Fix-It Form is both a communication tool to families and a way to collect data on the behavior problems we need to focus on as a staff. Click here if you would like to see what our Trojan Pride Fix-It Form looks like.
