Nancy Grayson Elementary School Achieves 99% Rating in School Climate/Culture!

Nancy Grayson Elementary School has recently been recommended for state recognition as implementing Tier I Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) with high fidelity. On 2/28/17, the school welcomed two state evaluators from PaTTAN’s PBIS Initiative to complete the School-wide Evaluation Tool (SET), which is one tool used to ensure that schools are implementing features of Tier I PBIS with fidelity. The state evaluators that attended Nancy Grayson Elementary Schoo...l reviewed permanent products (including survey data collected throughout prior years), conducted observations, and interviewed staff, students, and the building administrator. Following their assessment, the PaTTAN evaluators concluded that “…the school is working hard to promote positive behavior among students. It is clear that this effort is currently engrained in the culture of the school.” For state recognition, a school must achieve 80% or higher overall score on the SET; Nancy Grayson Elementary School scored 99% on the overall SET. Nancy Grayson Elementary School will be formally recognized at the PBIS Implementers’ Forum held in Hershey in May 2017. 
 

Congratulations to everyone at NGES for this recognition!! A special thanks to the PTO and local businesses who support the PBIS program with incentives!
