Trojans “ROCK” – Respect, Ownership, Caution, Knowledge

ROCK is the teaching/learning component of our PBIS program
The Rock framework addresses appropriate student behavior in different school environments.
ROCK rubrics are posted throughout the school to remind students of appropriate behavior in the different locations.
LCMS ROCK Review – teach these behaviors from day one and intermittently throughout the year as needed.
The PBIS team will determine specific school behavioral needs as related to the ROCK program and formulate an action plan to target those needs.

Rewards System

Rewards are based on our ROCK rubric.
If a student receives a 1 or 2 on the ROCK rubric that is sent home with the student's report card, he/she will be ineligible to participate and or/receive a reward for that nine week period.
Students who are not meeting the expected standard and may receive a 1 or 2 on the ROCK rubric at report cards will also receive a rubric with their progress report.
