Volney Elementary School is located at 2592 State Route 3 Fulton, NY and it serves grades K-6 in Oswego County. The building goals for staff this year are a focus on the delivery of instruction, literacy, implementing the PBIS plan, and increasing parent involvement. There are a variety of opportunities for everyone to be involved in our children's education. Please consider how you can take more of an active role at school; chaperone a field trip, volunteer in the classroom, attend parent teacher meetings, help with the book fair, or even work that can be done from home. Parents are a huge factor in the educational success of their children. Working together will make everyone even more successful.
Many of the programs and procedures that were in place and have been implemented over recent years will continue to occur here at Volney. This means that the Morning Meeting program will be a part of each day, a focus on our monthly character education will remain, and the uninterrupted 90-minute literacy block will continue at each grade level.
New to Volney this year will be a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) philosophy. This is a set of beliefs that models expected behaviors throughout the school and rewards students for the positive actions that they choose. You will see posters of the four school wide expectations throughout the school. They are: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, and Be a Problem Solver. The children learn what these expectations mean for them as a student here at Volney as well as how these four expectations will serve them for a lifetime.
