2. Behavioral expectations taught
3. Behavioral expectations rewarded
4. Systems response to rule violations
5. Information gathered to monitor student behavior
6. Local management support for school-wide procedures

Thanks to our students, teachers, and parents for making our school a great place to learn and work!

PHES students treated to author visit

Pleasant Hope Elementary School students have been hooked on reading this semester and for their efforts received a visit from Jefferson Knapp, author of the successful children’s book series “The Kingdom at the End of the Driveway.”  Students were treated to an inside look at the process behind the writing of the successful book series along with information about what spurred Knapp to become an author.  At the end of the visit, several lucky PHES students were treated to signed copies of his books.
