 more info sent to the parent when there are challenges at the school so that I can support both my child and the school
 1 (3%) 
 
 Everyone needs to be on the same page when it comes to handing out the tickets. Some staff memebers hand them out all the time and others never hand them out. Handing out the tickets is very subjective. One student may get a ticket for a certain behavior while another student does not get a ticket for the same behavior. My son does not get excited about the tickets anymore because - eventhough he exibits all of the traits that Unity Point focuses on, he never recieves any tickets. Also, a big "Thank You" to all of the staff at UP - including the volunteers!
 1 (3%) 
 
 go trojans!!!!!!!!!!
 1 (3%) 
 
 Keep it up - don't get lax just because the ticket program has been in place for a little while now. Vary the rewarded behavior - not just being quiet in line, but maybe for being extra polite or gracious; not just for getting an A, but for improving from a C to a B These are probably lame ideas - just encouraging staff to keep the rewarded behaviors interesting. Some already do, I'm sure!
 1 (3%) 
 
 Cannot think of anything. It starts from home, then at school, and their social network of friends. I feel my children are doing well with all 3. Thank you UP!

 Have teachers and staff be aware of the little things going on not just the stand out trouble points. Everything starts off little and if you catch it early enough it wont go any further.
 1 (3%) 
 
 I think the school is doing a fine job
 1 (3%) 
 
 More opportunities for kids who are well behaved and doing what they can to follow the rules. They often get overlooked by all the focus being on the kids who need to be disciplined. Trojan store is a good idea but mainly looks to be geared toward younger kids with all the little trinkets. The things aimed at the older kids are often the most expensive(of course) and harder to save up for so they end up getting nothing most of the time.
 1 (3%) 
 
 I would recommend parent conferences rather than recess detention for kindergartener's who don't even understand that it is a punishment to copy words. It is counterproductive to use a skill you wish a child to acquire as a punishment. *as a side note there is no space for indicating kindergarten as a grade on the first question of the survey.
 1 (3%) 
 
 Frequency of trojan tickets and store could be increased to re-enforce the behavior more often. More "caught you in a good behavior" type of tickets around the school instead of an expected or scheduled receipt.
 1 (3%) 
 
 I was concerned when my son mentioned that a child that had a lot of behavior trouble in class would be sent to the office and return with several trojan tickets. At the time he was receiving very few tickets even though he did not have behavior problems. I have seen some improvement in this situation.
 1 (3%) 
 
 My child received a written warning at one time, which I'm sure was warranted; however, there were apparent problems for a while prior to getting the written warning and I didn't know there were problems until he received the written warning. I somewhat felt that it could have been brought to my attention prior to the written warning. On the other hand, the written warning was very effective. There's not a place to mark for kindergarten on this survey. I would like to add that television as part of the kindergarten daily curriculum is questionable. Maybe a couple of days in the week, but everyday is a little much and the stuff they watch is sometimes inappropriate. Even though I won't have any more kindergarteners I would like to see television changed from everyday to just every now and then. Rest time could involve reading, looking at books, drawing, or at least watching something educational - not Monsters, Inc. or the the real Cinderella with Brandy. Thank you.

 frequent feedback from teachers on good and bad behavior. Just short notes, but with more frequency.
 1 (3%) 
 
 Teachers should let her go to the bathroom when she needs to go. By either not letting her go or giving her a detention if she goes, teachers are communicating to her that her body is not important to them, that they don't care about her discomfort. Behavioral support would be improved if she believed that they truly cared about her. As it is, she believes that they truly care about following rules.

 the school does an excellent job given it's size I have relaives in the GC school where things are much more "condensed" and it would be very eay for UPT to fall behind them given the size difference but they dont'...the only thing I am disappointed in at UPT is how few people show up for the xtra curricular activites.
 1 (3%) 
 
 Overall, I don't really know. She has been very fortunate to have a very positive teacher who works well and encourages all the students in the class. Her teacher does a wonderful job of working with the students when they may "slip up". She reminds them of the rules and is consistent with follow through. I would also like to clarify. My daughter is in Kindergarten. There was not a Kindergarten choice at the beginning of the survey--just Pre-K.

 I truly believe that PBIS is a culture. As in anything, it needs to have sound infrastructure in place, which I do not feel the school has achieved; nor do I feel that there is enough evidence that this is being addressed. By this I mean - when on a whole we have staff, teachers, ancillary personnel acting as we expect the children to act. As I walk the hallways, I still see UP staff yelling, scowling, belittling children with words, and body language. With this behavior from the adults, we will NEVER achieve a safe, fun, and productive environement. I believe that children learn by observation. They are observing inconsistent messages. The administration must no longer tolerate the negative behaviors demonstrated by adults. Albeit, everyone has an off day; I'm not talking about the occasional cranky moment. It is the pervasive attitude that the children need to be controlled versus taught. The tickets are a false economy, and just like our current economic climate, will not produce much in terms of lasting change in security. I do believe that those involved in the program have put much effort in to the success, and do not want them to feel despondent over the critisms that may come. I hope that the Administration takes our school in a different direction to achieve the desired outcomes. Frankly, I am tired of explaining to children why adults behave poorly. This is not the lesson I want to be teaching my children.

 Both my children receive positive feedback from their teachers in the form of comments and kudos. PBIS rewards children for doing behavior that is expected of them from their parents and school. Why would we do this - these are basic expectations? The children are fully aware in the older grades that those students who misbehave receive the trojan tickets for rewards when they do behave. Honestly, it says to the children - act up first and then act good, then we'll reward you for now behaving properly, better than you were doing before.

  Unity Point fosters an environment that promotes positive behavioral support as it is. My child is motivated by praise and recognition, so maybe a school wide newsletter recognizing students from all grades who have exhibited "good" behavior would be nice. Seeing her name in print would be extra motivation for positive behavior.
 1 (3%) 
 
 My child gets stuck between the "bad" kids alot since she behaves well. The teacher will put her in between other kids to stop their behavior but this punishes her for her GOOD behavior! I like the trojan ticket idea. She would like to be able to get a BOOK with her tickets if that is possible???
 1 (3%) 
 
 My child doesn't have any behavioral problems that affect her learning. She talks a lot. :) But she gets her work done. For other children I would suggest positive criticism in both negative and positive situations. If a child is always getting negative reinforcement, they will continue to behave in the way that gets them the most attention, which is negative. So praise children who have behavioral problems when they do something good. If that makes any sense.

 I'm not sure what behavioral support is actually given. I am not there to see such behavior by my child or teacher and/or adminstrators. I feel we really need for you to be our eyes and ears at school

 My son has unfortunately received two bad notes since starting school which was a big deal because his behavior needed to change and of course his parents needed to be aware of what was going on but I think my son would be extremely proud of himself if he could occasionally hand me a good note.
 1 (3%) 
 
 I think the school is doing a good job at this, although I think the good behavior in many students is also thanks to the education that the children are receiving at their homes. Honestly, I am not a strong advocate for rewarding students with Trojan tickets because I believe this does not reinforce good behavior in itself, but good behavior only as it helps to get a pencil, or an I-pod. I do not think it is beneficial in the long term.
