Title I Student Support
Picture Rocks Elementary offers a wide variety of academic learning for our students, and all students receive additional support through Title I funding.
Prioritizing PBIS
PRE establishes clear expectations for the behavior expected in all classrooms and areas of school. Students are taught these expectations with reinforcement and consistent consequences.
A Stong Community Foundation
Collaborative partnerships allow our school to leverage family, school, and community resources to remove barriers to learning and provide essentials to families in need.
