We are happy to announce that Mrs. Daphne Graves was honored today as the RIROE Employee of the Month for the JH & HS. Mrs. Graves is a tremendous asset to Rockridge JH & HS. She has worked very hard to assist the transition of a new HS Principal this year and last year helped acclimate a new Athletic Director in the position she had held for three years. Daphne strives to build relationships with students as she addresses behavior issues and has implemented restorative practices in the JH & HS. She is personable and professional with staff and parents and demonstrates outstanding communication skills.
JH Special Ed Teacher Kim Dinnon added the following in her nomination email: "Daphne has been a great support in dealing with challenging student behaviors in and out of the classroom setting. She handles these situations respectfully and professionally. On a personal level, she is always willing to offer assistance and advice when students are demonstrating challenging behaviors in my classroom."

Conor Flaherty, Tyler Lanz, & Mandy Parchert of the Mississippi Valley Advanced Manufacturing Sector Board visited Rockridge JH during lunch periods today. They met informally with students to discuss careers in Manufacturing and associated industries. The students asked lots of questions about job opportunities, training, education, salaries, & benefits, and learned that there is more to Manufacturing than working on an assembly line! Thank you for sharing this valuable career exploration information with our JH students!
