Rocket Club

Please note that there have been some significant changes in Rocket Club qualifications. The majority of the Elementary teachers felt that last year's requirements were not stringent enough for this elite group, so a committee was formed and changes made. This year's requirements are as follows:
  • No more than 3 absences.
  • No more than 6 tardies/early dismissals.
  • No more than 3 missing assignments. If an assignment is missing for multiple days, it will count for multiple missing assignments.
  • No red cards.
  • No more than 3 yellow cards.
  • In fourth grade preparation for classes is also a requirement. Students may not come to class unprepared more than 4 times without consequences. Since we switch classrooms and teachers 3 times per day, students may be marked for lack of preparation more than once per day.

Please encourage your child to be prepared, do his/her work on time, and follow directions. I would love to see every student be a member of this elite group, but it does take effort to achieve.
