Would you like to donate to HOMS' PBIS program? We believe that recognizing students who demonstrate the Positive Behavior & Intervention System (PBIS) SHARK expectations of Self-control, Honesty, Accountability, Respect and Kindness is an important part of building a positive school climate. Students can earn "SHARK bites” from school staff to earn privileges, items, or activities. See attached donation form if you would like to help sponsor HOMS PBIS.
