ONE SYSTEM. SCHOOLWIDE IMPACT.
How Faust Elementary Unified Behavior & Hallway Management with PBIS Rewards
When Jake Thierjung returned to Samuel K. Faust Elementary as principal, he saw a clear opportunity: strengthen behavior recognition and bring more accountability to the school day.
Having already seen PBIS Rewards drive strong student buy-in at the middle and high school levels, he brought that same proven approach to his alma mater.
The result: engaged students, consistent recognition, and real-time visibility into student movement across campus.
“We don’t have multiple tabs open anymore. We log into one platform and run the day.”
With Navigate360, behavior and hallway management live in the same platform, making it easier for staff to stay consistent and students to stay accountable.
“I haven’t heard complaints about student accountability since implementation. My teachers are much happier and they’re not guessing where a student is anymore.”
—Jake Thierjung, Principal, Samuel K. Faust Elementary School
