Welcome to WES
At Wayne Elementary School we create a safe and caring environment for all students to grow and learn.
We work towards this mission in a variety of ways:
- School Wide Positive Behavior Framework
- Staff and Support Personnel
- Variety of learning opportunities
- Partnership with our families and community
Challenging Learning Expectations
We strive to “unlock the potential in all of us”
- Academically we have a strong core program with supports so all students can not only access, but reach their full potential to achieve.
- Socially we use the PBS framework to create a culture that is inclusive and respectful.
- Emotionally we focus on the whole child which encompasses academics and social skills - Second Step.
- Morning Meeting and Closing Circle.

School Wide Positive
School-Wide Positive Behavior is a framework that educators use to create positive school culture through evidence-based interventions and supports. It is a system of tools and strategies for defining, teaching, acknowledging appropriate behaviors, and correcting undesirable behaviors.
