Robert Moses Students Show the Value of 3 R’s

To create a positive and safe school environment, Robert Moses Middle School kicked off its schoolwide initiative that values respect, responsibility and relationships. The multi-tiered system of support provides expectations for students and staff, creating unity buildingwide. 

During the kickoff event on Nov. 13, students learned the expectations of the three R’s in the classroom, hallways and cafeteria. Throughout the school year, students will be recognized and rewarded for meeting the expectations of the three R’s. Staff members will provide a paw print to those who demonstrate responsibility, respect and relationships in school. Paw prints can be used every Friday at the “Bulldog Exchange” for prizes.

The MTSS committee – consisting of school psychologist Desiree Stuart, special education teacher Keri Costello and physical education teacher Chandler Manning – began the three R’s initiative last year, creating a common language and laying the groundwork. After learning about the paw prints and how they could earn rewards, students are excited to start earning prizes for their positive behavior.
