Behavior Expectations

Dress Code
Dress Code is mandatory for grades- 1st - 5th – polo style shirts (blue, black, white, yellow) and pants (beige, black, navy) No jeans, no hoodies will be allowed. 

Cell Phones
Phones and smartwatches in a 1st – 5th grade building are a huge distraction to the learning environment and often causes problems. If students have their cell phones or smart watches, they should remain in their locker or completely out of sight (book bag).

Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports 

What is PBIS? 
Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS) is an implementation framework for maximizing the selection and use of evidence-based prevention and intervention practices along a multi-tiered continuum that supports the academic, social, emotional and behavioral competence of all students. (PBIS.org, National Technical Assistance Center on PBIS, June, 2018). Learn more about our District PBIS program here.
