The EBF staff have taught the students the school wide expectations for behavior using the acronym SOAR.
These expectations are school wide and usually affect the behavior of 80-90% of the school population (Tier I). There are students needing temporary additional support and comprise 5-15% of the student populous (Tier II) and about 1-5% require the support of not only the school, but parents, and the community (Tier III).

As you can see, so far we are meeting our goal with PBIS.
