MPS Schools Recognized By PBIS Wisconsin Network

    Fifty-four MPS schools applied for either School of Merit or School of Distinction to be recognized by the Wisconsin PBIS Network for their outstanding efforts with PBIS implementation in their schools this year.  MPS had 41 Schools of Merit and 9 Schools of Distinction that were recognized – 93% of all applications!  Schools were asked to complete an application and a 1,000 word essay on the efforts of their PBIS Team and all staff members around PBIS this year.  The Tier 1 Facilitators and teams at these schools have done an outstanding job of implementing PBIS.

 WAY TO GO!!!

This work couldn’t have been done with the hard work of a few key staff members at each school. Be sure to show your appreciation to these staff members.
