PBIS
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
The schools of Mascoutah Community Unit School District are PBIS schools. Behavior expectations are taught to students through the matrix. Students are given opportunities to earn rewards with good behavior—there are weekly, monthly, and quarterly rewards. The behavior coupon used at Wingate Elementary is the Totem.
