SBCUSD’s annual Principal for a Day event kicked off with a brief breakfast and orientation on Oct. 23 before more than 70 guest principals traveled to school sites across San Bernardino and Highland.

The event is designed to allow community members from all walks of life and all corners of the District’s boundaries to engage with students, staff and administrators while learning about the daily challenges and triumphs of leading a school. Guests shadowed school leaders as they toured the school campus, visited classrooms, interacted with office staff and more.

SBCUSD is celebrating 68 sites that earned a California Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) Implementation Award, including 8 that earned Platinum Awards.

PBIS is a nationally recognized, three-tiered program that equips students with the social skills to respond to situations in a safe, responsible and respectful manner. Staff members teach and model good behavior and provide positive corrections and use restorative justice practices when needed.

On Tuesday, Oct. 21, the San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) Board of Education presented its October Outstanding Community Partner Award to the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley for providing engaging classroom presentations and hands-on programs that teach kindness, empathy and responsibility toward animals.

The SBCUSD Board also presented the Outstanding Achievement Awards to students, parents and staff of Marshall Elementary School, E. Neal Roberts Elementary School, Golden Valley Middle School and Indian Springs High School (ISHS).
