Let's work together to ensure that children are in school every day. It makes a difference. Students can fall behind if they miss just one or two days a month. These days add up. If you need assistance, please let us know. #projectbehere

What a great PBIS Kick Off! 💙🤍
PBIS is a proactive approach Yates’ uses to improve school safety and promote positive behavior. The focus of PBIS is prevention, not punishment. With PBIS, Yates teaches students positive behavior strategies.
Our school has developed a set of agreements for your child's behavior at school. We will teach these agreements to all of our students, and we will recognize students who meet them at our monthly assemblies.
