Boys Town Educational Model
All Yankton schools use the Boys Town Educational Models as a tool to build positive classroom environments, foster strong teacher-student relationships, and teach social skills necessary for life at school and out in the community.
Responsive Classroom
As students enter our building we strive for a sense of belonging and community for each and every student. Stewart Elementary uses Responsive Classroom and staff have been trained in working with students' emotional and social well-being. Students feel a sense of community through morning meetings and closing meetings on a daily basis in their classrooms.
