Below is our PBIS matrix for schoolwide expectations in all areas of our building. The students may know these as the three R's, respectful, responsible, and resilient. This month we are focusing on being responsible and what that looks like at school. Talk with your children about how they can be responsible at home and at school.

Nurturing and promoting growth of Respectful, Responsible, and Resilient leaders.

Acknowledging that each child is an individual, Morenci Elementary School strives to provide a safe and inviting environment for all children to belong and grow into respectful, responsible, and resilient leaders in our community. Together with the support of our families, we seek to nurture the whole child, by providing exceptional academics grounded in character, creativity, and collaboration. To ensure that all children will be empowered to reach their full potential we will…

• Create a safe and nurturing environment for growth by sharing our enthusiasm for learning with students and colleagues.

• Inspire children to become self-directed learners who are able to celebrate diversity and perform both collaboratively and independently as students of MES and beyond.

• Challenge learners to take risks and foster a life-long love of learning by exposing them to aligned and evidence-based academics, social emotional learning, and extracurricular activities.

• Work together as a Bulldog staff, family, and community to nurture the whole child and develop long lasting relationships.
