We recognize that the focus of a middle school is to meet the educational as well as the personal, social, and physical developmental needs of young adolescents.  In an effort to provide the best educational climate possible, we have addressed these developmental needs and established the following ways that our school can respond to them.

• Create an atmosphere of positive social interaction between students and staff, as well as students and their peers.

• Establish clear expectations and consequences for inappropriate behavior.

• Provide a diversity of activities and rewards to ensure the probability of success for all students and to provide for creative expression.

• Integrate learning throughout the curriculum.

• Encourage meaningful participation in family, school, and community activities.

• Provide structured outlets for physical energy.
