Virginia E. George Elementary is a special place with a culture where staff identify with the school and feel a sense of belonging and community. The staff is truly a family that cares for one another and the students. The community is so supportive of our school and students. If there is something we need, someone is right there to help out. VEG implements PBIS, Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports throughout the school. All staff have received training to promote positive behavior. All students can identify our mission and are trained on what is expected of them in all areas of the building. Systems are in place in each area of the school.
