Middle School Learning

Middle school is a key time in your child’s growth and we are committed to helping students grow into confident, well-rounded learners. Through hands-on, real-world activities, students learn to think critically, solve problems, and work as a team. We create supportive environments where students explore ideas, take ownership of learning, and build skills for success in high school and beyond

 

High School Learning

High school is a pivotal time when students begin to shape their future and we are here to support every step of that journey. Our high schools offer rich academic experiences and real-world learning opportunities that help students strengthen both their knowledge and their career-ready skills. Our goal is to make sure every graduate is prepared not just for college or a career, but for a meaningful and successful life beyond high school.

Tips for Parents

Parent involvement in the education of their child is extremely important throughout all stages of their academic careers.  When parents are engaged, students are more likely to stay motivated, achieve higher, and feel supported in their learning. Here are some helpful tips for how you can support your child’s success at home to be successful in school. 

Send Your Child to School Ready to Learn: 

Make sure your child gets sleep each and every night so your child is fully rested. Also, make sure that your child eats a nutritious breakfast every morning to make sure they are ready for the start of their school day.

Get to know your child’s teachers:

Visit your child’s school when you can for functions and meetings such as open house, school orientation, teacher-parent conferences, PTSA meetings, etc. Positive home-school relationships help your child flourish during their school journey.

Support Homework Expectations:

Establish routines at home to support daily homework and study skills. Providing an environment at home where your child can review what they learned at school and practice skills can help with achievement.

Teach Organizational Skills:

Work with your child to make sure he or she has all of their needed supplies for class. Being prepared helps children with organizational skills. Also, when appropriate, teach your child to have a “to-do” list or check their agenda/planner. Repetition and routines help your child in this area.

Take Attendance Seriously:

If kids are sick or not feeling well, it’s ok to stay home to recover.  Otherwise, children should come to school each and every day so they don’t fall behind, which can be stressful. When students come to school every day, their chances of excelling increases.
