This is a collaborative approach to developing effective interventions for problem behavior. The model emphasizes the use of proactive, educative and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve meaningful and durable behavior. Students are able to earn<br \/>\n\u201cManatee Money\u201d by following our School-Wide Expectations, being in dress code and complying with area specific rules.<br \/>\n\u201cManatee Money\u201d can be used to purchase entrance to activities and\/or items. In addition, each month every teacher chooses a \u201cSuperstar\u201d to be recognized in a special ceremony. This choice is based on behavior and work habits. Students that are not able to follow school\/classroom rules will have appropriate consequences. Parents will be notified of infractions and the results. PBIS is also used with students using District transportation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Technology 4\u00a0Fully Equipped Labs Computers in every classroom Distance Learning Station Skyward Family Access Reading 100 Book Challenge Reading Counts Children&#8217;s Book Week Activities Student Activities Student Council National Junior Honor Society Morning Announcements Crew SuperSTARs STAR Bus Student Honor Roll Awards Intramural Sports Bowl for Kids&#8217; Sake Grades K-5 Manatee Academy emphasizes&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-10","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","description-off"],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.stlucie.k12.fl.us\/man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.stlucie.k12.fl.us\/man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.stlucie.k12.fl.us\/man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.stlucie.k12.fl.us\/man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.stlucie.k12.fl.us\/man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/schools.stlucie.k12.fl.us\/man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.stlucie.k12.fl.us\/man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
