ROCORI Public Schools is a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports) district. PBIS refers to a school-wide data driven system. We explicitly teach behavioral expectations as we do math, reading, and other content rather than expecting students automatically know how to behave in certain situations or environments. We systematically encourage positive behavior and reteach expected behaviors to struggling students. The goal is to engage all students and families in a positive educational experience. Staff and students are encouraged to exhibit our core values. ROCORI secondary staff and students show the ROCORI way of Kindness, Respect, and Responsibility. We hope that you, the parents/guardians, will partner with us as we strive to create this positive educational experience for all students!

Dear Seniors, Parents, and Guardians,

Thank you for your patience regarding the Jostens online link for submitting class of 2025 senior photos, baby photos and messages. When you are ready to submit the photos and message, please visit: Jostens Photo Upload. You may also scan this QR code to take you directly to the site.

You will be asked to create an account, and then you can submit your senior photo and baby photo (along with the message) under the portraits section. Please remember to tag ALL photos AND messages with your student’s name to ensure proper identification. It’s important to register your account with an email that you check regularly so we can reach out if we have any questions.

We appreciate your understanding as we transition to a new system this year. The deadlines for the yearbook are:

• November 15th: Baby photo and message due.
• December 1st: Senior photos due.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to yearbook@rocori.k12.mn.us.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Best regards,

ROCORI High School Yearbook Advisors

Anna Panek and Renee Bacon

ROCORI students in 10th- 12th grade have many class offering available and therefore diverse schedules. Students should follow advice from their CORE and elective course teachers in regards to unique school supplies.
