Hello Parents and Students,
Welcome
to Rocky Mountain Middle School! I am the Vice Principal at RMMS and I
am excited to join you on this adventure we call middle school. I have
been in education for thirteen years. Ten of those years have been in
Wasatch School District. I am eager to see students I have worked with
in the past, so stop in and say hi.
As
Vice Principal, much of my time is spent focusing on improving our
school culture. To promote this, our students and faculty participate
in two proactive social skills programs:
- Our
anti-bullying program is called “Cool to Care-212˚” It emphasizes that
it is cool to care about others and that small things can have a big
impact. At 211 degrees water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils and with boiling water comes steam.
With steam, you can power a train. Just one extra degree makes all the
difference. Just like saying hello to another student can make a
difference. We are a community that cares about each other.
Last
year we implemented our “Fight for First” program. We encourage
students to fight to do their best. This means being to class on time,
completing work, studying for tests, and realizing hard work pays off.
We desire our students to feel the satisfaction that comes when you
fight to do your best.
We
strive to recognize those students who are Cool to Care and Fighting
for First. Teachers will have Cool to Care-212˚ cards and Fight For
First cards to distribute to students. Students will turn in the cards
and each week we will call out names for prizes. Our goal is to ensure
that every student at RMMS feels safe, welcomed, and challenged to be
and do their very best.
When
you walk into our building you will see two large banners stating our
mission: “All Grizzlies are guaranteed access to high levels of
learning” and “All Grizzlies will be prepared to succeed at Wasatch High
School”. We have a fabulous staff that is dedicated to preparing all
students for high school and beyond. If we work together as parents and
educators, our students will have a great three years at Rocky Mountain
Middle School.
