Student wellness and physical safety company Navigate360 has announced its acquisition of SaaS platform PBIS Rewards to round out its K–12 programs focusing on safer school environments and strengthening academic performance through positive behavior reinforcement, interventions, and other measures.

Navigate360’s Mental Health and Awareness, Threat Detection and Prevention, and Safety and Management and Preparedness suites are now paired with the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Rewards program to foster a “whole child” safety framework, the company said in a news release. The combined program addresses school climate and culture, full-cycle emergency management, early detection, and assessment and violence prevention.

PBIS Rewards is a digital management system that replaces paper tickets and tokens. Available on smartphones and laptops, it simplifies the administration of “rewards points” for positive behaviors as identified by the school district. Students can use them to “purchase” tangible and privilege rewards such as homework passes, jeans day coupons, iPad time, admissions to events, and more.

The system also allows for workplace rewards for teachers that result in recognition and perks. Learn more about how PBIS Rewards works on its website.
