Overwhelming evidence demands that schools complement the focus on academics with the development of the social and emotional skills and competencies that are equally essential for students to thrive in school, career, and life.

With this evidence in mind, the Rockwood School District Student Services Department will continue to offer the RSD THRIVE Learning Series for the 2018-19 school year.

RSD THRIVE is designed to re-envision what constitutes success in our schools by exploring how Rockwood can fully integrate social, emotional, and academic development to support the whole student.

The series is open to ALL employees! Your building administrator must be contacted for approval to attend all workshops.
