On August 2006, Woodbury Grammar School began implementation of School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS).  SWPBS is nationally recognized, researched-based, and designed to enhance the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing school-wide, non-classroom, classroom, and individual student discipline systems. SWPBS requires schools to define, teach, and reinforce school rules to create a positive school environment.

Woodbury Grammar School has had 11 teachers trained by The Partnership for Ed Excellence at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in the many facets of SWPBS.   Cannon County is proud to be one of only 7 districts in Tennessee to implement SWPBS district-wide. Our school committee is made up of Gerald Tidwell, Jeff Todd, Tammy Smith, Pam Forrest, Mance Davis Lia Basham, Emily Hughes, and Christie Manous.

SWPBS focuses on prevention and teaching expectations in order to provide a predictable, safe, positive and consistent environment.  Woodbury Grammar School’s rules are Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Prepared.  WGS has dedicated significant attention to systematically teaching its students the expected behaviors. 

With SWPBS, students are able to earn Cub Cash for various positive behaviors. Cub Cash will be given to students when they are seen following one of the school rules, thus allowing teachers and staff to focus attention on appropriate behavior by students.  Students who have earned Cub Cash will have the privilege to attend the reward parties planned throughout the year and can “cash in” their Cub Cash for various prizes.
