PBIS Discipline

Minor vs. Major Behavior

A minor behavior is a behavior that can be addressed by staff.  A major behavior is a behavior that is managed by the office.  Use the provided flow chart to determine if the behavior is a minor or a major behavior.

 

Office Discipline Referral (ODR)

Office Discipline Referrals (ODRs) are used to track behavior data.  Minor ODRs (yellow) are completed when a student shows a minor. The staff collects the minor ODRs and brings them to the office at the end of day where they will be entered into SWIS (School Wide Implementation System). Major ODRs (red) are completed when a student shows a major behavior. A major ODR is then given to the student to take with them to the office.

 

The data is collected in SWIS and analyzed by the PBIS team.  The data will drive any behavior matrix modifications that are needed throughout the school year.  The PBIS team will share their findings with the staff as needed.
