Stonybrook's mission is “to expect academic excellence as we prepare students to contribute to a rapidly changing workforce and global society.” To complete this mission, faculty, students, staff, and parents must work together to create a positive learning environment based on six qualities: responsibility, excellence, notice, empowerment, and work. Research indicates that implementing schoolwide positive behavior intervention and support will help to create a foundation for such an environment.
The goal of schoolwide positive behavior support at Stonybrook is to create a positive learning environment with minimal behavioral disruptions through developing the characteristics of respect, integrity, caring, harmony, excellence and responsibility in students, staff and community.
We asked our students to create a RENEW rap to motivate staff and students. Desmond Winston, Caleb Weber, Brandon Battles and Jasmine Anders did a fabulous job putting their thoughts to paper.
