PBIS

Welcome Elementary is proud to be a PBIS school. Our three school-wide expectations are show respect, take responsibility and be ready to learn. At the beginning of the school year, all students received training on these expectations and what their behavior should look like in all areas of the school building. Students receive Star Bucks for
displaying positive behavior and can use them to “buy” items from the Star Buck Station. Ask your child about our school expectations! For more on PBIS click here.
