This topic is taught in the eight grade by using the Current Health magazine as a source of information. Topics to be studied and discussed are chosen with regard to current events and the interest level of the class. In our ongoing effort to provide our students with an education that will allow them to succeed in the world and become aware of social problems, we cover a variety of topics. These topics include, violence, abuse, conflict resolution and coping skills. The open discussion format used in this class allows each child to voice concerns, strategies and options.
Eligible students receive supplemental instruction in addition to their regular classroom work.
These services are provided in the respective building on a 2-3 times per week basis. Mrs. Regina Gauscheman provides instruction in reading and Mrs. Joyce Vargo teaches math. Both teachers utilize a small group setting to focus on meeting the individual needs of each student. The children in the art classes this year have really been busy. In the intermediate building, students have been given the opportunity to submit a well-constructed drawing for the cover of the yearbook.
