Each month PBIS recognizes a student and staff member of the month for demonstrating Pride, Achievement, Respect, or Responsibility. How can students get recognized? They need to earn a positive referral from a staff member for going above and behind or exemplifying the Decatur Way.
For September, the PBIS committee would like to recognize Hadden Elsner who earned TWO positive referrals from his teachers. We would also like to recognize Mr. Wilder who also earned TWO positive referrals for helping out his colleagues. Thank you both!
