ROARS

School is not just teaching math and reading.  We all know that we also need to teach social skills to our students.  At Hillcrest, we use the acronym ROARS to help student remember appropriate behavior while at school.  ROARS stands for Respect Other, Act Responsible, and be Safe.

Each morning, we discuss following our ROARS in different school settings over the announcements and their are signs posted up throughout the building.  When students are noticed following their ROARS, they receive a Panther Paw for doing their job!  Each week, Panther Paws are turned in to the classroom teachers and one lucky Panther Paw is drawn from each class and the student's name is called over the loud speaker and wins a prize!
