Check out more photos from our 7th-grade field trip!
On Friday, our 7th graders stepped into the real world at Finance Park! Students took on real-life financial scenarios, made tough economic choices, and learned what it takes to balance a household budget. We are so proud of the critical thinking and problem-solving our Rockets brought to the experience!
We are seeking donations as we prepare to launch the 6th Grade Rockets READ! initiative!
The purpose of the Rockets READ! initiative is to motivate students to dedicate more time to independent reading with the goal of improving reading stamina, vocabulary, and comprehension while simultaneously promoting a culture of literacy at Rockridge Junior High.
Each student will earn a Rockets READ! sticker every time he or she finishes reading a grade or skill level appropriate book. Stickers will be placed on a sticker chart that will be displayed on each student’s locker. When a student earns 5 stickers (reads 5 books), he or she will be able to choose a reward. When a student fills an entire sticker chart (reads 20 books), he or she will be able to choose a more substantial reward. Additionally, students will be recognized throughout the year for their Rockets READ! achievements via daily announcements, hallway displays, newsletters, and school board celebrations.
Donations Needed for Student Rewards:

🎉 Employee of the Month: Mrs. Schwigen 🎉
Mrs. Schwigen has been instrumental in building our Junior High intervention program and making sure every student gets the support they need. On top of that, you’ll even spot her in the gym teaching an hour of PE! She is always the first to volunteer when a coworker needs class coverage, and she provides exceptional support during study hall to help students get caught up.
Thank you for your endless patience and dedication to our school. We are so lucky to have you on our team! 💙
