Mellon School RAMS practice important social skills. Students recite a daily promise:

RESPECT matters.

Act RESPONSIBLY.

Make HONEST choices.

Show COOPERATION.

Mellon School is a NO BULLYING/TEASING zone. Our learners treat themselves and each other with RESPECT. BULLYING and TEASING are NEVER tolerated and ALWAYS result in parent conferencing, behavior support and/or disciplinary action if warranted. Mellon School welcomes new students at any time during the school year. Teachers provide newcomers with a classroom buddy to assist in learner adjustment. New learners may meet with the School Counselor individually and in small groups to assess their comfort level and are able to access the Counselor as needed until they feel a part of the Mellon School family. Regular transition programs are provided for incoming K4, kindergarten and outgoing fifth graders. These programs are designed to transition K4/K to the school environment and fifth grade to the Middle School concept. Elementary learners from RKM and LVE also meet regularly to establish social relationships.

A tour of the school and review of the curriculum can be arranged by contacting the School Counselor for an appointment via phone or e-mail.
