The middle school program uses the Glencoe Science Interactions series. Students study life, earth, and physical science in all three-grade levels each year. During classes, students use technology in the form of computer work, videos, overheads, audiocassettes, and the Internet. Classroom work includes traditional study methods, worksheets, maps, study guides, and lab experiments. Assessment is done through homework, lab work, science projects, group activities, tests, journals and portfolios.
Materials are as needed, and provided for classroom use.
Lab equipment and materials are controlled by the science teacher and stored in locked cabinets. All students are instructed for one hour per week, plus daily classroom art activities. Computer Laboratory Students in grades two through five receive one hour computer instruction per week and six through eight two hours per week. Music Students from Grades K through five are instructed in music one hour per week. Grades six, seven and eight receive 1.5 hours per week.
