Why the New System?

  • The purpose of the RTI2-B Team is to strive to maintain a safe, respectful, and positive environment conducive to learning.
  • We are striving to create a positive culture where high academic and behavioral expectations are achieved.
  • The new House System will bring our students together across grade levels.
  • Our goal with this system is to foster camaraderie, collaboration, and leadership among our students.
  • We want each student to gain a sense of belonging at Blackman Elementary.
  • Each house has a name and color that symbolizes positive characteristics and qualities we want to instill in our students.

How will Houses be organized?

We will have 6 houses that are comprised of about 200 students per house, consisting of kids from all grade-levels (K-5). House captains will organize and oversee House meetings, with the help of 11-12 staff members. Fifth grade students will work on leadership skills as they lead different activities within their house meetings and assemblies.
