🦅 Welcome to Our PBIS Page

Alta Elementary Gold Award

At Alta Elementary, we believe that a safe, respectful, and supportive school environment is the foundation for student success. That’s why we implement a school-wide PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) system. PBIS helps us create a consistent and positive school culture where all students know what is expected of them and are recognized for making positive choices.

We are proud to share that in the 2024–2025 school year, Alta Elementary was honored by KCUSD with the PBIS Gold Award—a recognition of our commitment to fostering positive behavior, implementing effective interventions, and meeting high standards in student support.

Together, we help every Eagle SOAR by being Safe, taking Ownership, having a positive Attitude, and showing Respect!
