Be Respectful • Be Responsible • Be Safe

United South Central (USC) Elementary is located in southeastern Minnesota in the beautiful community of Wells, MN. USC proudly serves approximately 350 students from PreK to the 6th grade in a student-centered environment where staff understands the importance of developing a strong rapport with students. In order to empower students to succeed inside and outside the classroom, Rebel Rights (Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe) were created as a Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) system coupled with social-emotional learning opportunities. PBIS creates an amiable environment that allows students to grow and increase their learning not only academically and socially, but emotionally. Staff use Golden Tickets to positively acknowledge students when they are exhibiting their Rebel Rights.

In keeping with USC’s mission which is to establish opportunities for tomorrow’s learning…today, children have access to high quality, well-rounded experiences and instruction aligned with Minnesota State Standards. Through this alignment, highly dedicated staff are able to address individual student needs and provide opportunities for students to thrive each day with a research-based curriculum. Students are challenged to think critically, and creatively through access to a comprehensive curriculum in reading, math, science, and social studies. In addition, elementary students have access to Physical Education every day and receive specialized instruction in Music, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), and WIN (What I Need) time in reading and math. Additionally, students in the fourth and fifth grades have the opportunity to participate in band.

The staff at USC are here to serve your child’s needs to the best of our abilities. If you have questions, concerns, or needs, please feel free to call, stop by the school, or e-mail me at jtaylor@unitedsouthcentral.org.
