‘Hero’ program showing impact at RJH campusThis week Rockdale Junior-High School Principal Kelly Blair has a special new program being used on her campus this year, and she would like to provide you with information on how it is working at RJH:
Rockdale Junior High is excited to share a few of the positive impacts the Hero-K12 program is bringing to campus this year.
We are consistently utilizing Hero to yield greater impacts on in the classroom and campus-wide.
In just our first year of implementation, 100 percent of teachers and majority of support staff are accessing Hero to recognize positive behaviors in students.
In fact, according to Hero data, Rockdale Junior High has recognized an average of almost 460 positive behaviors per student this year, striving to engage in positive and meaningful interactions regularly and with all students.
Teachers are also able to document in-class discipline issues to help hold students accountable, and intervene early when necessary to help support students and lead them to success.
Rockdale Junior High is also engaging parents with automatic email notifications to alert parents when discipline issues arise, but also to celebrate their students’ success.
Parents and students can also create their own accounts in which they can view their behavior history, upcoming detentions or tutorials, and even their point totals that they have earned for positive behavior.
Students can then go spend their Hero points at the school’s pop-up store.
Popular incentives included ice cream coupons, big ticket raffle items, tickets to extra-curricular events, and affirmations delivered by administration.
As a result of our documented success, our campus administration team will present our accomplishments at the annual TASSP conference (Texas Association of Secondary School Principals) in Dallas this summer.
We look forward to continuing our efforts to improve school climate and culture through empowering teachers and improving student behavior.
