R and R is a period of time when students and teachers read self-selected material to promote reading for enjoyment. Topic-specific activities will be conducted on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to introduce and reinforce designated themes, such as the Olympics, Elections and Life Skills. S.T.A.R. will be conducted on Thursdays. Students will have the opportunity to study or meet with a peer or teacher for academic assistance. The principal will be responsible for communication to parents.
Teachers are responsible for organizing materials and activities for monthly themes.
The evaluation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Middle School Grove program will be done by the administration, the staff, and the students. Each will be given a survey-comment sheet to complete toward the end of the year. This will provide data to evaluate the program. The staff will interpret the results of the surveys and attempt to make improvements. We are very interested in knowing what you thought about our Grove periods this year.
