Highlights
 

Participation in extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs and performing arts is one of the highlights of middle school for students

 

Important Information
 

Plan on attending the parent orientation meeting about the transition between middle and high school.

 

Parent communication is very important in middle school as your child now has up to 7 teachers. This comes at a time when students are less likely to carry materials home. Timely information for parents is posted on the school website and emailed through our electronic newsletter.

 

Family Access is the best way to track your child’s progress and grades in grades 7 - 8.

 

Encourage your child to take full advantage of tutoring  opportunities to keep pace.

 

Eagle Scholars presentations are held to get students to think realistically about their future.
