7^th grade can be a challenging and exciting time for students, parents, and staff. Teacher websites and email through the PowerSchool platform may be helpful communication for parents and students about the middle school experience. The purpose of Paseo Hills Middle School is to give students the skills they will need to meet 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade standards so that they may be successful in high school.

Rattlers Rock PBIS

It is the belief of Paseo Hills Middle School Staff that 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade students are ready to assume responsibility for their behavior. Thus, they will participate in our Rattlers ROCK! Program. ROCK stands for: Rattlers show Respect, Own responsibility, and Care through Kindness.

It is the goal of Paseo Hills to provide all students with behavioral expectations that are clearly defined, taught and reinforced, to encourage positive relationships and exemplary citizenship. Our student discipline data shows that students are being sent to the office for defiance/disrespect and minor aggressive acts. When that happens, they are not learning, and this interferes with the learning of others. We need to help all of our students to be successful academically and behaviorally. When students struggle with reading—we teach.  When students struggle with math or music—we teach.  When students struggle with behavior we need to teach them how to succeed.
