This is an incredible milestone for the Dragon Family!
Denn John Middle School is proud to announce that we have become eligible for recognition as a Silver PBIS Model School, a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our students, staff, families, and community.
Our success is reflected in the positive outcomes we achieved during the 2025-2026 school year:
📉 59% Decrease in Out-of-School Suspensions
📉 28% Decrease in Discipline Referrals
These remarkable gains demonstrate our commitment to creating a positive, supportive, and engaging learning environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
At DJMS, we believe that All Means All. Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, feel connected, and be supported. Through our PBIS framework and our F.I.R.E. expectations—Focused, Integrity, Respect, and Engaged in Learning—we continue to build a culture where positive behavior is taught, celebrated, and reinforced every day.
This achievement is not the finish line—it is another step forward as we continue striving for excellence and creating a school where .
