Teachers meet regularly to implement and revise the standard curriculum. In addition, electives are added to the schedule when a need is perceived. Areas of weakness are identified and instructional materials are developed to improve student learning. The school district invites all residents to learn more about their schools by volunteering to serve on district and building committees. South Lake Middle School holds formal parent conferences in November and March.
Conferences are held during the day and in the evenings, on a first come first serve basis.
