After any break, it is best practice to revisit the PBIS framework and provide the students with a refresher regarding the rules, routines and expectations. If your school does not have a PBIS system, now is the time for the team to plan for the 2025-2026 school year.  

Suggestions to assist the MTSS Team with a PBIS refresher:  

• Reteach schoolwide and classroom expectations; 

• Reestablish predictable routines and procedures;  

• Use existing data collection system to monitor and drive decisions; and 

• Rebuild connections, and reestablish a positive greeting when welcoming students into the learning space.
