Dr. Jason Lievanos

Principal, Wildwood Middle School

This semester, Wildwood Middle teachers are piloting a revision of our current 7th- and 8th-grade student behavior markings in report cards.

This revision introduces Academic Mindset Behaviors (AMBs), which provide a clearer picture of a student’s engagement and conduct beyond academics in the classroom and school setting. AMBs will replace the current Non-Academic Indicators (NAIs) on report cards starting in the 2025-2026 school year at all Rockwood middle schools, a result of the district's commitment to improve upon the middle school experience through the Middle School Program Edit these past few years.

Teachers will begin reporting AMBs during the third quarter in Infinite Campus. Families will receive information later this quarter on how to access their child’s AMB report. Because of this transition, teachers will not mark student behaviors at the semester grading period.

Additional information: Academic Mindset Behaviors

For any additional questions, please let me know.

If so, to ensure the safety of all our students, volunteers are required to undergo a fingerprint-based background check through the Missouri Highway Patrol and the FBI.

The cost for the background check is approximately $45 and is the responsibility of the volunteer. This background check only needs to be done once while you are a volunteer in Rockwood schools and does not need to be repeated annually.

Here is the link to the MACHS fingerprint registration portal. Please use the registration code of 1838 when you register.

Please visit the Rockwood District website for additional information: rsdmo.org/get-involved/volunteers

*A volunteer refers to anyone who is chaperoning on a field trip or who may be alone with a student or students at school without the supervision of a staff member. Please visit the Rockwood District website for additional information: rsdmo.org/get-involved/volunteers.

Visitors are those who are at school to eat lunch with their child, attend a meeting, class party, school assembly or event and do NOT need to complete the fingerprinting process.
