Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) at Sellersville Elementary

At Sellersville Elementary, we implement Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) as a proactive approach to promote a safe, respectful, and supportive school environment. PBIS helps students understand behavioral expectations through consistent teaching, modeling, and positive reinforcement. Students who demonstrate SHARK (Self-Responsible, Honest, Always Positive, Respectful, and Kind) behaviors are rewarded with tickets, tokens, or special class tickets. These tickets can be “cashed in” to participate in engaging activities throughout the school year.

Our PBIS empowers our staff to build strong relationships with students and encourages positive decision-making. Our school community works together to recognize and celebrate positive behaviors, creating a culture where all students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

The present Sellersville Elementary School was constructed in 1962. Although named the Sellersville Elementary School, only the parking lot is in Sellersville Borough. The remainder of the school is in West Rockhill Township. The school replaced the aging Sellersville School located on Church Street, now renovated into Sellersville Borough Offices. The facility started with eleven classrooms, library, all-purpose room, kitchen, and offices. The school originally built for two classes for each grade level soon became overcrowded, and an eight classroom multi-floor addition was built in 1968. During the eighties, the population of Sellersville School swelled creating the need of another addition. The 1988 addition offered the school a separate gym; an enhanced library that included a story pit, instructional area, reference area, audio-visual room, and office; and several more classrooms bringing the total number of classrooms to twenty-eight and our current population to 300 students.

Mrs. Drucilla Bonney was the first principal in 1962. Other past principals include Dr. Peter Lamana, Dr. William Warner, Mr. Thomas Szabo, Dr. Donald Muenker, and Miss Pricilla Ponist. Our current principal is Mrs. Baker.
