At Rowe Middle School in the North Clackamas School District, where about one-third of the student body is Latino and more than 20% need special education services, students are not yet back to 2019 achievement levels, but across all three grades, they’ve shown measurable — and at some grade levels, dramatic — growth in each of the past three years in math and in English

Sixth grade math and science teacher Tim Hays and seventh grade English teacher Christina Burns said their struggling students benefit from daily time carved out from grade-level lessons to focus on individual learning gaps.

The school has also begun training its teachers in the kinds of reading instruction more commonly found in elementary schools, focusing on the grammar and comprehension lessons that current middle school students may have missed during the months of online school and the readjustment to full-time in-person school in the 2021-2022 school year, when COVID-era protocols were still in effect.

Teachers at Rowe also sit down with every student each fall to talk through the results of standardized check-in tests, so students understand exactly where they stand and can help pinpoint their growth goal for the year ahead. That information is shared during parent-teacher conferences, too, instructional coach Jennifer Martin said, so parents are very clear about where their child may need help.

“It’s about instilling that growth mindset in kids,” Rowe Principal Emily Moore said. “We say, ‘It’s okay that you are not where you’re supposed to be. Our job, which we’re doing together, is to work on getting you where you need to be. And every little bit helps.’”

Knowing and following guidelines for student behavior. 5. Working hard to do their best in class and with school work. 6. Learn and resolve conflict in positive ways. 7. Showing respect for and cooperating with other students and adults. 8. Engage and be a positive member of the learning community. 9. Treat others with respect and dignity. 10.  Students need to come to school with their computer charged or bring their charger to school.

Cell phones: Cell phones are expected to be turned off and put away from the time they enter the doors of the school until the bell rings at the end of the day (9:15am - 4:05pm).  If cell phones or earbuds are visible they will be confiscated.  After the 3rd time a family member will need to come pick up the phone or ear buds at school in the main office. If you need to contact your child, please do so through the front office. 

Outside items: Rowe does not allow stuffies, sports equipment (we provide recess equipment) toys, personal electronics, fidgets etc…  If a student comes to school with outside belongings these items will be kept in the main office until the end of the day. We are trying to cut down on distractions to the learning environment.

District dress code from district: 

Responsibility for dress and grooming rests primarily with students and their parents; however, the district expects student dress and grooming to meet standards which ensure that either of the following conditions do not exist: Disruption or interference with the classroom learning environment , threat to the health and/or safety of the student concerned or of other student.

Attendance:

Tardies, and skipping can result in lunch detention. Chronic tardiness or skipping can lead to in school suspension.  Refusal to go to class will result in either: lunch detention, in school suspension, or if chronic and not listening to administration the student may serve out of school suspension. Students cannot leave the classroom the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes of each class.  The first and last 10 have critical information that students need to be successful in the classroom. 

Afterschool:

Due to liability, once the school day has ended, students need to either leave campus or register for the Boys and Girls Club after school program.   ROWE educators have left the building and this leaves a lack of supervision due to this, all students not in the after school program must leave the premises.

Harassment and Bullying:

Physically harming a student or damaging a student’s property. Knowingly placing a student in reasonable fear of physical harm to the student or damage to the student’s property. 

Creating a hostile educational environment, including interfering with the psychological well-being of the student, and may be based on but not limited to the protected class of the person.
“Protected class” means a group of persons distinguished, or perceived to be distinguished by race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, familial status, source of income or disability. 

Cyberbullying: The use of any electronic communication device to convey a message in any form (text, image, audio or video) that defames, intimidates, harasses, or is otherwise intended to harm, insult or humiliate another in a deliberate, repeated or hostile and unwanted manner under a person’s true or false identity. 

Words or symbols that are racially harassing are prohibited within our school environment. Prohibited symbols include, and are not limited to, the image of a noose, a Neo-Nazi swastika or the Confederate flag. Displaying racially harassing symbols to other students or staff, or where they can be viewed, such as on a bumper sticker on your car in the school parking lot, regardless of intent is disruptive to the education of other students and will not be tolerated.
