Please help us celebrate our December Coleman Elementary Scholars of the Month! These scholars have demonstrated excellent behavior, responsibility, and a positive attitude toward learning. We are proud of your hard work and leadership.
Coleman Elementary is proud to partner with Tempest Alexander, Partnership for Success (PFS) Coordinator, through our PBIS initiative.
Partnership for Success (PFS) is a state-awarded prevention program that supports organizations, nonprofit agencies, schools, churches, and community partners in reducing negative risk factors while increasing positive protective factors for children and families.
We are excited to collaborate with the Community Empowerment Council, the awarded agency for Region 4, as we continue strengthening supports that promote positive behavior, student success, and a safe, supportive school community.
Together, we are building stronger futures for our scholars.
