I am excited to be back for my second year as principal at Payne Elementary. It is truly an honor to be able to work with the students and staff in this district. It is our goal to meet the needs of every student in our school. At Payne Elementary, it is our goal to create a learning environment for students to not only succeed academically, but socially and emotionally as well.

 At Payne Elementary, we will continue to use PBIS throughout the school year. This school wide approach is focuses on reinforcing positive behavior. We are continuing to use houses that each student belongs in. The staff and students will use this approach to build a whole school positive environment.  We will continue to work on building the best school environment for each student.

 If you have any questions or concerns throughout the school year, please reach out. I look forward to working with your student throughout the school year.
