A Family Guide to Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports (SWPBS)

The link between families and Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports (SWPBS) is an important one. When families are meaningfully involved in educational activities their children do better in schools. Families play an important part in their child’s education and social development. The presence of parents in schools not only provides additional academic supports but also creates community and cultural connections. In many schools, family participation in the schoolwide positive behavior support process is growing. Family members are part of state, district, and school planning teams and participate in schoolwide activities in a variety of ways. Family involvement helps to provide consistency between home and school, the key to success for all students. Family members participate in the assessment and problem solving process to create individualized positive behavior support plans when necessary for their children. This booklet is designed to help families understand the important role they play in Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports.
