Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports

PBIS

"Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) is a school-wide systematic approach using evidence-based practices and data-driven decision-making to improve school climate and culture:  to achieve improved academic and social outcomes; and to increase learning for all students.  It encompasses a wide range of systematic and individualized positive strategies to reinforce desired behaviors, diminish reoccurrences of challenging behaviors and teach appropriate behaviors to students." -State Support Team 11

Components of the PBIS Schoolwide Plan:

1.  Mission Statement

2.  Statement of Beliefs

3.  Building Expectations

4.  Encouragement Procedures

5.  Corrective Procedures

6.  Common Area Procedures

7.  Implementation Plan

 

We are committed to keeping Worthington Kilbourne High School a place where all students, staff and community can work and learn in a safe environment that is conducive to learning.  This plan will allow us to continue to enhance our schools culture and climate at Worthington Kilbourne High School.  Thanks to the leadership of Assistant Principal, Mr. Ken Nally and our PBIS Team (Angie Adrean, Rob Brown, Ed Chism, Cindy Fushimi, Kevin Johnson, Ralph King, Carol Miller, Ariel Schwartz, Vanessa Scott, Tom Souder, Jeff Todd and Sophia Whitehouse), we are ready to begin full implementation this Fall. 

 

Because we have an expectation that all students and staff are a "Part of the Pack," the acronym P.A.C.K. will provide us with clear and consistent targets.

 

P - Practice Respect

A - Act Responsibly

C - Commit To Be Involved

K - Keep it "Klassy"

 

 

 





Our WKHS Activity Club Cares About Kids!

Worthington Kilbourne High School is fortunate to have the support of a committed group of  30 plus Mom's.  These Mom's volunteer their time to "Make a Difference" in the lives of our entire Kilbourne Community, including students and staff.  Just this past year, they initiated a Community Cares Program called The BackPack Program to help feed our WKHS students who do not have enough food over the weekends.  Typically, these students qualify for free and reduced lunches, which is approximately 20% of our population.  These ladies work each week to put together bags of non-perishable foods that our students can take home in their backpacks for the weekend.  Our school counselors worked closely in this process as to be sure all names were kept confidential. 

 

The Worthington Activity Club set aside $1,500.00 to pay for this program.  However, because of the Kroger Community Rewards Program, a local book club fundraising program, individual and corporate gifts, they were able to donate over $3,500.00 to this new initiative for kids.  The generous contributions of all stakeholders is greatly appreciated. 

 "It takes a village..." and we definitely have a village at WKHS. 

Thanks for all that you do for our Kilbourne Community!
