Little Dogs Creating Moments That Matter: PBIS Kick-Off

DCES held its annual PBIS kick-off today! Students enjoyed meeting some high school football and volleyball players, hearing songs from the band, and watching the dance team perform. Staff also jumped in the PBIS point machine to grab as many PBIS points for the students as possible. The event ended with lawn games and time on the playground with friends!

It’s going to be a great year filled with students who BARK:
⭐️ B - Believe
⭐️ A - Achieve
⭐️ R - Respect Others
⭐️ K - Show kindness to others

🐾 Welcome to our first Family Focus Friday!

This week, we are introducing Moments That Matter: A Behavior Series with BCBA Ben Thomas. Each feature will offer practical strategies families can use to encourage positive behaviors and strengthen connections at home.

Our first topic, “Where Reinforcement Flows, Behavior Grows,” explores how simple moments of praise, encouragement, attention, and quality time can make a lasting difference in a child’s behavior.

We hope you will take a few moments to read this week’s feature and discover an idea you can try with your family! 💚💛
