Highly Awaited Event Rescheduled
March 23, 2022
On Friday February 25th, there was supposed to be a PBIS event at Cesar Chavez Academy Middle School, but it was postponed until March.
The PBIS event was postponed due to issues with student behavior, along with staff shortages making it so there wasn’t enough time to plan. Mrs. Ortiz and Mrs. Jenkins decided to cancel the PBIS event two days before, choosing to reschedule it on March 17th.
During an interview with Ms. Romero, she explained more about why the event was canceled. “The specific behaviors that caused the cancellation of the event were… fighting, (and) students caught with vape pens in the bathrooms or in their pockets,” stated Ms. Romero. School leaders had to spend so much time dealing with students misbehaving in school, along with other reasons like cyberbullying on social media, that they didn’t have enough time to plan the event.
PBIS events used to be school dances, but the COVID-19 Pandemic forced CCAMS to move the celebrations into individual classrooms. According to classcraft.com, other ways PBIS events can adapt is through having different themes and games. For example, teachers and students can play against each other as others spectate. Popular games include kickball, volleyball, dodgeball, and basketball. Games like these can change the concept of PBIS and make it more fun due to dances being canceled.

I enjoyed reading this article because it shows two different points of view on why the PBIS event was canceled and showed enough details.

In my opinion, students that were caught doing those things could’ve been separated from the PBIS event they could’ve been with a teacher doing an assignment or just not come to school at all that day. It’s not fair to the students that wanted to go to it because it ruined a lot of people’s excitement.

In my opinion, the pbis event should not have been canceled because some of us students were on task and following directions. The teachers should have made a room where students go if they were being bad like back then in 6th grade where they put the bad kids in one room.

In my opinion, they should have punished the kids who were fighting and vaping and that was misbehaving by canceling their PBIS event and letting the kids who deserved it participate in the PBIS event.

In my personal opinion, people that have started problems in the school should have been separated from this event to let the other kids that did deserve the PBIS enjoy it because of their good behavior.

In my opinion they should have seperated the students that were caught vaping fighting ect, in different rooms so the other students could enjoy the PBIS activitys

I agree with you they should have done this. instead of punishing every student for stuff they didn’t do.

I agree with you because it doesn’t seem fair that the many students who didn’t do anything got punished due to other people’s actions. Even if they didn’t know what happened, they still got punished.

I agree because many people did nothing wrong whatsoever and people should be able to enjoy it for their good behavior.

In my opinion, I think that they shouldn’t have had postponed it because so many students were excited, and a lot of the students didn’t do anything to miss out on the event the teachers could’ve separated the students that did something, and the ones that didn’t.

In my opinion, I think it is pretty disappointing that they postponed it due to student behaviors. They could’ve separated the individuals that were not well behaved, and still had people who didn’t do anything participate in the PBIS event, I understand due to the COVID-19 policies, though.

in my opinion, it’s not fair that they postponed but I understand why they postponed it because they wanted covid numbers to improve.

In my opinion, there was no point to make it that late because everyone was excited but then after the event, a lot of students were disappointed.

I agree with you, Camilo Martinez because in my point of view I was very excited but when I found out that the PBIS was canceled I was very disappointed.

If I were them I would have taken the students that were acting up and exceeded them from the even and I agree on why they rescheduled the event but they should’ve made it sooner than it was.

I agree with you because some students were looking forward to having a shorter learning day. But instead, they got a regular day which ruined their plans.
