Moriah Elementary School - Age Child Care

During their recess our elementary students are truly enjoying their new Playground! It looks great and provides lots of opportunities for fun and exploration. It is even handicap accessible! We can never say Thank you! enough to all those who made the new playground a reality! Raising the funds to purchase the equipment was truly a community event as businesses organizations families individuals students and alumni donated. We are so fortunate to be part of such a wonderful and supportive community!

We have begun utilizing a new approach to behavior management. The PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) program is a systematic approach for teaching behavioral expectations throughout the school. Our behavioral expectations are clearly defined and taught for all areas of the school from the classroom to the playground and the buses. The 3 expectations we have of all students at all times are to be safe be responsible and be respectful. Our expectations are summarized on a matrix or poster and are displayed in all classrooms and student areas. The philosophy of PBIS is teaching promoting and rewarding positive behaviors rather than reacting to negative behaviors.

We continue to offer a resource just for elementary parents! It is called Parents Make the Difference and it is a monthly newsletter filled with short articles and tips that are interesting for parents. We have included two editions one for early childhood (Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten) and one for elementary (grades 1-6).
