Friendship Academy is a proud member of the Pennsylvania Positive Behavior Support Network. Positive Behavior Intervention Supports, or PBIS, is a framework for supporting the social and emotional development of our students. The goal of implementing PBIS is to create an environment where every child feels good about coming to school. This is accomplished by designing classroom settings that promote engagement by building positive relationships among students, families, and school staff. Through the process of PBIS, our staff works together to ensure that children understand behavior expectations, and receive instruction in social skills, and those with the most persistent challenging behavior receive individualized assistance
