Desert Shadows Elementary School has received the PBIS Model School Award for the 2024-2025 academic year. The recognition highlights the school’s achievements in academic excellence and growth within its community.
The award acknowledges Desert Shadows Elementary’s implementation of all three tiers of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework. This system, used throughout the district, is designed to help students in behavioral, academic, social, and emotional areas. Staff at the school are noted for creating a positive environment with high expectations for students.
A statement from the school reads: “Desert Shadows Elementary is truly a model, not just for PBIS implementation, but for what is possible when a school leads with heart. Congratulations to Principal Cunningham, the staff, and the JAWSOME Sandsharks on this impressive and well-deserved achievement!”
The PBIS approach aims to support student success by promoting positive behavior and providing consistent support across multiple levels.
