*Additional Information*
PBIS is a nationally recognized
program that MCPS and the Maryland
State Department of Education have
endorsed. This is a multi-year initiative
and Rockwell is entering its sixth year
of implementation. Please look for
opportunities to express your opinion
and give input about how we are
implementing.
We use our PBIS program in conjunction
with the MCPS Student Code of Conduct
which ensures a safe, productive, and
positive learning environment. There are
two documents that help students, parents
and staff understand school rules and
regulations; expectations for student
conduct; and possible consequences for
violating the rules.
