ABOUT OUR SCHOOL

Southworth Elementary has over 650 students with 27 classroom teachers and was opened in 1972.   We passed a bond and are in our 4th year at our new building. Southworth Elementary School is a Kids at Hope network of school. Students will learn the Kids at Hope Pledge and as a staff we will focus on these factors to support your child (ren):

  • Children succeed when they are surrounded by adults who believe they can succeed.
  • Children succeed when they have meaningful, sustainable relationships with caring adults.
  • Children succeed when they can articulate their future.

 As a building we have also adopted PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention Strategies). Our new school rules for this year are:

  • Be SAFE
  • Be TRUSTWORTHY
  • ACHIEVE
  • Be RESPECTFUL

SCHOOL COMPACT

We, at Southworth Elementary School, work to provide a supportive and successful climate for all students.  We believe that a working relationship between students, parents, and staff must be maintained to ensure a positive education for students.  To keep this relationship strong and successful there are expectations that must be upheld by each group.
