The FISH Philosophy stems from Seattle's World Famous Pike Place Fish Market,
which is an otherwise ordinary fish market that's extraordinarily successful.
The work is hard and the hours are long -- yet these employees make a
personal choice to bring amazing passion, playfulness, commitment and a
positive attitude to work every day. We look forward to embracing this theme
throughout the school year at Abney.

Louisiana Positive Behavior Support Initiative
School-Wide Positive Behavior Support
Positive Behavior Support is a collaborative, assessment-based approach to
developing effective interventions for problem behavior. It emphasizes the
use of proactive, educative, and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve
meaningful and durable behavior and lifestyle outcomes. PBS aims to build
effective environments in which positive behavior is more effective than
problem behavior.
When PBS strategies are implemented school-wide, students with and without
disabilities benefit by having an environment that is conducive to learning.
All individuals (students, staff, teachers, parents) learn more about their
own behavior, learn to work together, and support each other as a community
of learners.
Abney Elementary will implement the PBS program school-wide. On-going
training and monthly, team meetings will provide support and guidance for all
members of the Abney learning community.
