Students who appropriately follow expectations are provided pompoms as recognition. Sterling staff hand out hundreds of pompoms per week to students who follow expectations! This year, Sterling started the \u201cGolden Pompom\u201d for students who exemplify those expectations on a daily basis over an extended period of time. Three staff members per day are given the golden pompom to recognize students. Students don\u2019t know which teachers have the gold, and thus it requires all students to follow all expectations, all the time, because they never know when they could receive a golden pompom.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1973\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1973\" style=\"width: 517px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_05_SterlingEl_Golden-Pompom_DKelly.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1973 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_05_SterlingEl_Golden-Pompom_DKelly-572x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sterling Elementary Golden PomPom recipients\" width=\"517\" height=\"925\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1973\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sterling Elementary Golden PomPom recognition<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nWhen given the golden pompom, the staff member tells the student specifically why they are receiving it. The student comes to the principal with the golden pompom and gets to turn it in for a small prize such as a pencil or an eraser. The student signs the \u201cGolden Pompom Celebrity Log\u201d and then the principal and the student call home to share the exciting news!<br \/>\nStudents and parents alike have been excited about the golden pompom. Students revel in the additional recognition for following the expectations and parents love the positive phone calls home from the principal!<br \/>\nOn January 5, 2015, Sterling Elementary participated in the re-teaching of our PBiS school wide expectations. Each teacher pre-taught the school\u2019s expectation in his or her own classroom and then was paired with primary or intermediate to go to the following areas: cafeteria, playground, bathrooms, and lobby for arrival and departure routines to reinforce those in class lessons. At the end of the day, we had an assembly where we reviewed assembly expectations, bus expectations, and celebrated our November and December Super Star classes of the month for attendance and giving! It was a great day of relearning appropriate school behaviors!<br \/>\nStory contributed by Denise Kelly, Principal, Sterling Elementary<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_02_Sterling-El_PBIS_lunchroom.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1975\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_02_Sterling-El_PBIS_lunchroom-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"517\" height=\"387\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_02_Sterling-EL_PBIS_playground.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1976\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_02_Sterling-EL_PBIS_playground-1024x806.jpg\" alt=\"KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"517\" height=\"406\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_02_Sterling-El_PBIS_bathroom.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1977\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_02_Sterling-El_PBIS_bathroom-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"517\" height=\"689\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_02_Sterling-El_PBIS_hand-washing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1974\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/02\/2015_02_Sterling-El_PBIS_hand-washing-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"517\" height=\"689\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nLink:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/departments.aspx?id=42\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KPBSD Pupil Services<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sterling Elementary upgraded its Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBiS) system!
