Pelican Island Elementary follows the ABCs at all times and in all areas. What are the ABCs?

Act safely
Be responsible
Care for self, others and the environment

The focus at Sebastian Elementary School is to foster a caring school environment. So, once again, the school has implemented a program called Positive Behavior Support, or PBS, to foster both academic and behavioral support for our students. PBS is a general term that refers to the application of positive interventions and system changes in order to achieve socially important behavior change
