Getting to CALM at Rogers


What Do We Need Right Now?
In the short term, which is now, one of our goals is to have our school’s image and reality be a CALM school. We know that in order for students to be ready to learn, their brains and bodies must be calm and alert and the environment in which they learn must be calm and conducive to learning. There is a far better chance of optimal learning to occur for each child with fewer distractions.

With optimal learning in mind, we have come up with a few expectations to have us get started on being calmer than ever before.  With parent support, we know we can get ut short term goal happening this week, if we all work together!
