Wildwood Middle's Notable News

Wildwood community, our student theater production group is putting on "It's a Madhouse!" play this weekend. Friday & Saturday at 7pm, and Sunday at 2pm. Cost is $5 per person. Productions are always a fun, enjoyable time together, so consider joining us!

Get ready for March Madness Spirit Days next week! It's a fun way to boost our energy as we head towards spring break. Details are below.

We have our annual March Madness assemblies hosting fun events and student basketball matches. Pictures of the events will be posted on our Social Media apps. Students will return from break on March 24.

Parent-Teacher Conferences for the second semester are scheduled to take place on March 12 and 13 from 3:30 - 7 p.m. Teachers will send sign-up info via ParentSquare on Monday, March 3.

The purpose of parent-teacher conferences is for parents and teachers to share information and communicate ways to ensure students are thriving.

If you feel your child is being successful and you do not wish to schedule conferences, you are more than welcome to send emails or call teachers to let them know you are working to support your son or daughter at home.

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.

Upon completion, email your receipt to Rockwood Human Resources mayerevelyn@rsdmo.org

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.

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
