RISD REPORT

Junior-High Principal Kelly Blair discusses changes at the campus:

Rockdale Junior High Teachers have new and improved tools to help them engage your students in meaningful and valuable learning.

Additional training in the areas of professional learning communities is an extra support to help your local teachers increase skills in analyzing student achievement data, as well as improve campus-wide professional growth and student engagement.

Our PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) team has grown and continues to seek ways to celebrate all students that are doing the right thing and showing true Tiger Pride.

Teachers began training in a world-renowned program called Capturing Kids Hearts.

It is through CKH that we are striving to create student-teacher relationships that give teachers the chance to impact all students.

The team at RJH is working harder than ever to focus on learning, but a large part of learning at this age means feeling supported and heard socially. CKH and PBIS work together to do just that.

Every student matters and every student should know and believe that.

Every student is greeted warmly and professionally throughout the day, and “good things” is a way to have students share about the positive things in their lives.

Our students are guided in a process to build social contracts within each class with the intent of taking ownership of the class and holding each other accountable to reach classroom success.

PBIS has framed all of our student expectations from the perspective of being safe, respectful, and responsible.

OPEN HOUSE—We invite you all to join us on Wednesday, Sept. 19 for open house from 5:30 to 6:30 pm to meet familiar and new faces yourselves.
