Loudoun County Public Schools is committed to empowering all students to make meaningful contributions to the world. To ensure the success of all students, LCPS implements a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports is a systems-oriented approach for establishing a safe and supportive learning environment to promote social, behavioral, and academic success for all students. All LCPS schools implement PBIS as a prevention and intervention framework.

As part of JL Simpson's PBIS initiatives, we established a Monty Bucks Program where students can earn Monty's Bucks by exhibiting any of the four core behaviors at JLS: Honorable, Engaged, Respectful, and Determined (HERD). Students can use their Monty Bucks to go shopping and 'purchase' items from Monty's "Tack Shop." The Monty Bucks program has been extremely successful and popular at JLS, and we are happy to bring it back again this year. JLS staff is very excited to once again start issuing Monty Bucks to our amazing Mustangs!

NOTE: Our Monty Bucks program has been recognized nationally by AMLE (American Middle Level Education) as a notable PBIS initiative! We have been invited to present on this outstanding initiative at the AMLE Conference in Nashville, Tennessee in early November alongside our School of Distinction honor.
