Here at Trotwood-Madison High School, our students aspire every day to meet our RAMS Expectations:
Respectful
Accountable
Motivated
Self-Controlled
Our building PBIS program (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) is designed to promote those positive qualities in our students. Teachers acknowledge students' positive behaviors by awarding PBIS Rewards points, which in turn help students earn a variety of incentives from snacks, to in school assemblies and activities, to field trips. A progressive discipline system is also in place to address the instances when student behavior does not meet our RAMS Expectations.
Here are some examples of our RAMS Expectations in action:
Respectful - Positive interactions with both staff and other students
Accountable - Attending all classes, arriving on time, and being prepared every day
Motivated - Staying engaged in class activities and putting forth consistent effort
Self-Controlled - Responding in a calm, positive manner in emotional situations

Attendance = Achievement: EVERY Minute Matters
In the October Parent Newsletter, there was an in depth look at our chronic absenteeism problems here at TMHS and the potential negative effects that can have on a student's education. We are again asking that you partner with us in fixing our chronic absenteeism problem. Here are some specific things you can do to help:
Make sure your student is on time every dayby dropping them off by 7:50 AM. This will ensure your student has time to enter the building and get to 1st period before 8:00 AM.
Avoid early dismissals unless absolutely necessary. This will ensure your student maximizes their learning time every day. If possible, schedule appointments before or after school.
Take advantage of our transportation services. Our Transportation Department works tirelessly to ensure that all our students arrive to school safely and on time every morning.
We fully understand that sometimes a student missing school is unavoidable. All we ask is that you make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of time your student misses from school in any of the ways mentioned here. Remember: EVERY minute matters!
Ohio Carpenter's Open House
Recently, a group of our TMHS students had the opportunity to attend the Ohio Carpenter's Open House in Mason, Ohio. Students were able to meet with professionals, ask questions about the trade, and get some hands on experience with some of the construction equipment. Our students had a great time and gained valuable knowledge and experience!
Dr. Shalaby Day at Miami University (Oxford)
Ms. Johnson's CTE Education & Training students attended Dr. Shalaby Day at Miami University (Oxford) where they explored the concepts of Classroom Management as a Curriculum and Teaching Rights and Responsibilities of Freedom.
