About PRES...
Prospect Road Elementary (PRES) is a rural school that has served the communities along the Prospect Road since 1971. We offer English programming to 280 students from grades primary to five. Our enrollment remains steady and classes are at capacity. Ninety-nine percent of our children are bussed and stay for lunch.

Maintaining a positive, safe, and respectful environment where all of our students can reach their full potential continues to be a priority at PRES. Our school’s Positive Effective Behaviour System (PEBS) encourages positive social skill development and promotes student academic achievement. An emphasis is on teaching the skills necessary for appropriate decision-making and problem solving and students are encouraged to take responsibility for their thoughts and actions. A number of initiatives provide our students with an opportunity to practise these skills, such as our Peer Mediation program, PEBS gem program, DARE, CREATE, intramurals, and reading, math and technology buddies. Students, staff, parents, and visitors share in the responsibility of making our school a happy place to visit, volunteer, work, and learn.

We are committed to keeping the dreams of our students alive. We will provide our students with the tools necessary to conquer their challenges and instill a sense of pride that comes from accomplishing their goals. With the continued support of our families, and the positive involvement of our community partners, we can make this happen again this year.

We are in the second year of the Accreditation/Planning for Improvement (PFI) process. A great deal of time is spent carefully looking at data about how our children are doing. This information was used to set the goals for our school improvement plan and guide our planning for the 2009-2010 school year. We will provide regular updates throughout the year on our progress.
