GDW Recognized as Midwest PBIS Network Gold Level Recipient


It's time to celebrate! Gary D. Wright Elementary School is among 300+ Illinois schools that were recognized by the Midwest PBIS Network for our PBIS implementation during the 2018-2019 school year.  PBIS is a school-wide framework aimed at closing achievement gaps and increasing the number of students who graduate ready for college or a career. National research shows that full implementation of this type of framework leads to improved student outcomes.

This framework has helped us increase the consistency of effective instruction for all students, build staff knowledge and skills to support all learners, use data to proactively identify and provide support for students, and shift to a culture that supports stronger relationships with students and their families. 

As a result of our work, we are being recognized by the Midwest PBIS Network at the Gold level. This award helps us celebrate our efforts as we progress toward full implementation.

Way to go, Wildcats!
