The Falcon Five: Building a Positive School Community

At Quashnet School, we believe that positive behaviors should be recognized, celebrated, and reinforced—because what you pay attention to grows. Our community embraces a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) approach to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive school environment where every student can thrive.

We follow the Falcon Five across all areas of our school:

  • Be Safe

  • Be Respectful

  • Be Responsible

  • Be Ready

  • Be Caring

These five core values guide how we treat ourselves, each other, and our learning spaces every day. By working together and upholding the Falcon Five, we make Quashnet a place where everyone feels valued and empowered to succeed.
