Summary

School leaders told the board about programs at Williamsburg Elementary, including PBIS behavior incentives, cultural celebrations, a newly built outdoor classroom and community partnerships.

Williamsburg Elementary staff briefed the Rockingham County Schools Board of Education on school programs and community partnerships during the March 31 work session.

Dr. Lori Beth Davis, principal of Williamsburg Elementary, described the school's history and its current programs, saying the school serves about 480 students including Head Start, pre-K and a functional skills classroom. She outlined the school's commitment to positive behavior supports, family engagement and cultural celebrations and said staff use technology and hands-on activities to engage students.

Dr. Davis said the school rewards positive behavior and attendance with quarterly celebrations and recognizes students monthly for character traits. She also told the board the school received grants that funded an outdoor classroom and pickleball equipment, and that the school has a long-standing PTA that sponsors an annual harvest festival. A local fire department provides safety presentations and staff support for car duty each month.

Board members commented on the school's achievements, noting Williamsburg's designation as an "America's Healthy Schools" site for multiple years and the presence of a student council. The presentation was informational; no formal board action was recorded.
