WELCOME!

Welcome to Waterville-Elysian-Morristown Public Schools, Morristown Building! Our building is located in Morristown, Minnesota and serves students in grades 5-8. We are unique in that the fifth and sixth grades are elementary classrooms, and comprise Morristown Elementary School. The seventh and eighth grades are a Junior High and comprise W-E-M Junior High School. To create unity within the building, and simplify who we are, we refer to ourselves as the W-E-M 5-8 building.

Morristown PBIS

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a framework for organizing strategies to enhance academic and social outcomes using databased decision making. The full description can be found in Minnesota Statute 122A.627. Funding for this program is made possible by a grant from the MN Department of Education, Federal Award CFDA#84.027A – Special Education – Grants to States, IDEA Part B-611.

PBIS is guided by 6 principles:
  1. Develop a continuum of scientifically-based behavior and academic interventions and supports
  2. Use data to make decisions and solve problems
  3. Arrange the environment to prevent the development and occurrence of problem behavior
  4. Teach and encourage prosocial skills and behaviors
  5. Implement evidence-based behavioral practices with fidelity and accountability
  6. Screen universally and monitor student performance & progress continuously
Research generally suggests that if implemented with fidelity, the PBIS practices and systems are associated with:
  • Reduced major disciplinary infractions
  • Improvement in aggressive behavior, concentration, prosocial behavior, & emotional regulation
  • Improvements in academic achievement
  • Enhanced perception of organizational health & safety
  • Reductions in teacher reported bullying behavior & peer rejection
  • Improved school climate
At WEM, we practice BUCS PRIDE! We are a respectful, responsible learning community, dedicated to a safe and positive learning environment for all individuals.

The goal of WEM’s School Counseling Program is to meet the needs of all students, personally and academically, in an empathetic, proactive, accessible, and professional manner. We believe that a comprehensive counseling and guidance program is an essential part of education for all students, at all levels. These programs facilitate student development in educational, career, and social/personal domains. Our program helps promote responsible, productive citizenship and lifelong learning. They assist students to develop realistic educational, life, and career plans based on a clear understanding of themselves, their needs, interests, and skills.
