Clement Avenue practices PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) throughout the school year. We will be teaching our students the following expectations:
Be Respectful, Be Responsible and Be Safe.
Just as we will talk to our students about what those behaviors look like in the classroom, in the hallway, in the cafeteria, on the bus, in specials, and on the playground, you too can talk to them about what those behaviors look like at home.

We will acknowledge students for displaying positive behaviors at school. You can use home acknowledgements to help motivate your child to keep up the good work at school, or for exhibiting the expectations at home. Home acknowledgements do not need to cost any thing! Some suggestions for home recognition include the following:
- Read a story to your child or have your child read to you.
- Stay up 10 minutes past bedtime. Cook his or her favorite dinner.
- Provide computer time at home or at the public library.
- Play a board game or complete a puzzle together.
- Get out of having to do chores for a day.
- Watch his or her favorite movie.Help cook dinner.
- Go for a walk outside together.
- Color or draw with your child.
- Send a positive note to your child’s teacher about the good job he or she is doing at home.

“The evidence is now beyond dispute. When schools and families work together to support learning, children tend to succeed not just in school, but also throughout life.”
