PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME

Dear Visitor,

 Welcome to the Sol Feinstone Elementary website.  As you peruse our site, you will see how proud we are of our past and how each day we celebrate the successes of our students while constantly planning for our future as we live our school vision, “SFE: Success for Everyone”.

 Sol Feinstone Elementary has evolved in so many ways since its inception 69 years ago in the fall of 1953 to what it is now become today.  We are a school that is going through a massive 3 ½ year transformation where no part of our school will be untouched.  This year, we will open a new 13 classroom addition which will offset the loss of our K/1^st hallway and cafeteria/APR. 

 As we manage the renovation, our focus on teaching and learning continues to challenge and enhance the social, emotional, and academic growth of our students.  We are always excited about our Positive Behavioral Support Plan (PBIS).  The mission of the SFE PBIS Plan is to create and maintain a safe and effective learning environment by establishing and teaching positive behaviors.  With PBIS, students are explicitly taught the expectations and procedures for each area of our school.  Through this explicit instruction, the students learn about expected and unexpected behaviors in each area of our school.  PBIS strives on being a positive support system, where the adults in the school are recognizing good behavior and decision-making.  PBIS is enforced school-wide by every member of the SFE faculty and staff.

We at SFE expect our students to adhere to the following behavioral expectations:

 Respect Yourself

 Respect Others

 Respect the Environment

 Our parent community is an integral part of the success of Sol Feinstone Elementary.  We have a strong and active P.T.O. that meets monthly to support the efforts of our students and teachers.  Their commitment in providing such worthwhile experiences like our Welcome Back Picnic, Spring Fair, and a myriad of engaging assemblies only add to the quality of our educational programs.  We are very fortunate to have such an outstanding partnership with our P.T.O.  This solid foundation equals success for all stakeholders within our Sol Feinstone school community.

 We hope you enjoy navigating your way through our web-site.  We take extreme pride in our school and making sure our students come first in every facet of the school day.  It is our pleasure to be a part of such a dynamic community and we are excited to give you a glimpse of what we experience each and every day here at Sol Feinstone Elementary.

 SFE: Success For Everyone
