Pieter B. Coeymans Elementary

Dear Pieter B. Parents and Families,

It has been a pleasure to walk into classrooms and see our dedicated teachers actively engaging students in lessons centered around our school-wide PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) behavior expectations. It’s inspiring to witness how seamlessly these expectations are woven into daily instruction, reinforcing positive behaviors throughout our classrooms and the entire building. Our support staff has also been invaluable, consistently teaching and modeling PBIS expectations during lunches and recesses. This collaborative effort ensures that our students understand what is expected of them and feel supported in meeting these expectations in all areas of their school day. Thank you for your continued partnership in fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for all our students!

As always, you will find the latest updates, important school events, and links to newsletters on our official school website, www.rcscsd.org. You are encouraged to sign up for the RCS App and be sure to check your email frequently. We will again practice being environmentally friendly and reduce paper this year. Thus, our Pieter B. Handbook which contains the Code of Conduct, as well as pertinent other forms, resources, and points of reference will be posted on our website. If you do not have internet access, a copy of the handbook will be available in the main office.
