Mrs. Joan DeRitis 7A and Miss Allison Downey 7B
Welcome to our Main PageRemember the Three B's of Saint Andrew School:
Be Respectful ~ Be Empathetic ~ Be Responsible
In May 2018, the PBIS program was introduced to our students through lessons plans and consistent modeling. PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. We have adopted this program to encourage good behavior and consider this as important as academics. The key to PBIS is prevention, not punishment. Expectations for Responsibility, Empathy, and Respect - The 3B's for Arrival/Dismissal, Hallways, Lunchroom, Church, Bathrooms, Recess Yard, and Transitions have been presented to the student body and the different matrices are displayed and visible throughout both buildings. "Cardinal Cash" will be used by all teachers and administration when a student is caught showing one of The Three B's outside the classroom. Teachers will continue to use their own unique reward systems in their classrooms.
