District reveals new PBIS logo

Members of the Cohoes community will likely see a new logo popping up the schools and in the windows of area businesses.

The new blue and gold logo, created for the district's Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support program (PBIS), incorporates the program's message, "Respect, Responsibility and Safety," a motto students in the elementary and middle schools are taught to abide by. The program is being developed in Cohoes High School for freshman.

"We're excited to share with the community this new logo," said Superintendent Robert Libby. "Seeing it displayed around the city will hopefully be a reminder that many areas of our community are instrumental in our children's success."

Not only will the logo displayed in the schools, but local businesses are supporting the schools' program as well. Several businesses have decals in their windows displaying the logo, and are also posting the Character Traits of the Month as well.

The goal of the PBIS program, along with the Character Education program, is to promote good behavior and character in the students of Cohoes.
