Positive Behavior Support

Dove Mountain implements a Positive Behavior Support System in which consistency of behavior will be expected throughout all parts of the school community.

Our school-wide S.W.A.G. (PBIS expectations) are:
S: Show Pride; W: Wise Choices; A: Always Kind; G: Give Respect.

The Dove Mountain PBIS program has validated the benefits of directly teaching students our expectations, and acknowledging appropriate behaviors. This has paid off with a significantly reduced number of discipline incidents on our campus. Go Jaguars!
