River Hall Elementary is a proud PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) Model School with school-wide criteria designed to foster a climate of respect, responsibility, academic excellence and safety. The PBIS process is a team-based approach that requires strong collaboration between families and school personnel. PBIS gives us a new way to think about behavior. The PBIS approach is designed to increase academic performance, increase safety, decrease problem behaviors, and establish positive school cultures through the use of evidence-based strategies and interventions. Please visit our online calendar for a complete list of PBIS sponsored school-wide events and celebrations. Thank you for all that you do for your child!

  We are committed to establishing a warm and caring learning environment, using data and shared accountability to focus students, driving them towards behavioral and academic achievement that can be displayed both within the school and community environments.
