RoCK Hour is based upon Sky View’s mission statement which is Relationships, Character, & Knowledge for Life. The purpose of this hour is to create time during the school day to support the following:
1. Academics – Academically, we want every student to be successful. We not only want to ensure every student is passing their classes, but that they are also being challenged by and mastering the curriculum.
2. Extra Curricular Activities – We want every student to be involved in extracurricular activities. We feel strongly that students who are involved in extracurricular activities learn important life skills, do better academically, and benefit from involvement in positive activities
3. Character – We believe it is important for students to develop strong character as part of their education including being responsible, self- motivated, and developing good self-management and social skills.
4. Life Preparation – Upon leaving Sky View High School, we want every student to be prepared for the next step in life whether that is college, technical training, or the job market.What will Teachers be doing during RoCK Hour?
