< Seventh Grade >

Philosophy

Understanding that our seventh grade students experience many demands during this critical school year, we believe in balancing high expectations with social and emotional support. We challenge our students with standards based, relevant activities and projects within a nurturing, student-centered environment. 


Instructional Approach

Inquire. Investigate. Reflect. Redirect. We may be departmentalized between four stand-alone areas, but we are very much a team and believe all students belong to all of us. We are always looking for ways to connect and integrate our lessons across all subject areas. We build in student choice and ownership as much as possible, with the goal of increasing student responsibility for learning. We’re implementing a workshop approach this year in which students will be given a lot of choice while we can differentiate for individual students to meet their needs. ​

Curriculum details

 General Schedule

Instruction begins promptly at 8:15. Students will have a departmentalized schedule. Each student will have a workshop period in which they will explore differentiated, student selected content. Recess and Lunch are from 12:25-1:10.

Grade level Events 

Field trips will occur quarterly this year. Please let your child’s homeroom teacher know if you are available to chaperone! Each night, students should read for at least 30 minutes.  Your child also has an IXL account and can practice Reading and Math skills from home or school.
