North Branford Intermediate School is committed to enhancing the spirit of our students. As a school community where respect for self and others is highly valued, it is important to teach students to utilize high standards when making good academic and personal choices. In order to assist students with this process, NBIS is using a program entitled Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS).

PBIS is an approach to teaching and supporting positive behaviors in order to meet the needs of all the students. This school wide approach to discipline focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students can learn. The foundation of PBIS at NBIS utilizes the acronym PRIDE that represents the following expectations.

P– Productivity

R – Respect

I - Integrity

D – Dependability

E – Empathy
