How teachers use it

Classroom and hallway PBIS rollouts
Cafeteria, bus and playground expectation walls
Substitute folders and common-area signage
Schoolwide matrix displays near the office

Edit each bullet to match your school matrix, then print one version per location. The three-column layout mirrors how most PBIS teams already teach expectations, so students see the same language in every space.

For the sharpest result, print it on a poster printer at 300 DPI. Our printers are Canva-ready, Wi-Fi capable and Title I / Title IV-A eligible, with setup under 30 minutes and 500+ templates included. Need the printer, ink and paper together? See our poster maker packages. In-house prints typically run about $1.30–$2.84 per poster once you have paper and ink on hand. Schools can also request free sample posters by mail.

See it on the wall

A 24×36 poster is big enough to read from across a room or down a hallway. Print a test at 12×18 first if you want to check spelling and colors before you print the full size.
