Mustang Pride Overview

Mustang Pride is strong at Mercer Elementary School! 

Our School-Wide Positive Behavior system recognizes our students for all of the positive things they do. During the first week of school each year, the students rotate through various centers to learn the expectations of our school.  They learn what it means to Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible in the following areas:  Hallways, Cafeteria, Restrooms, Playgrounds, Classrooms, Assemblies, Buses, Arrival, and Dismissal. 

Throughout the school year, the School-Wide Positive Behavior Support team collects behavioral data. This data is used each month to address concerns and develop plans aimed at decreasing the amount of time spent on behavior disruptions and increasing time on academic success.  

A reward system is in place to recognize students for their good choices. Students receive Mustang Pride tickets from staff members who want to reward them for their role model behavior. Students are then recognized throughout the school and receive special rewards through this system.
