PBiS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention Support and was created to help promote a positive culture within our schools. Murphy Creek has been lucky to have this program in our school since 2005. At Murphy Creek, we encourage our students to use JETS Behavior, which includes: Join In, Excel, Thoughtful Actions, and Self-Respect. Throughout the years, our PBIS program has grown and changed, allowing us to have many incredible ways to recognize our students for their positive behavior. Students are rewarded weekly for living the tenets of JETS.
