We expect them to learn to be responsible citizens who pursue a quality, healthful life style. At Saghalie, all students have the opportunity to be included in an honors program in all classes. Students willing to successfully complete the advanced curriculum requirements for a particular class may contract at the beginning of the semester for an honors designation on their transcript. In Saghalie's Laptop program in the 7 th and 8 th grades, students utilize technology within many of their classes. Utilizing word processing documents, spreadsheets, databases, and PowerPoint, students demonstrate their knowledge in content areas, such as history, science and English.
Students also learn about web technology and create some of their projects in the form of web pages.
Finally, as a true demonstration of their knowledge, students in the laptop program produce an electronic portfolio of their accomplishments throughout the school year. The staff at Saghalie puts great value on the quality of work students produce. All seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students collect their best work in a portfolio throughout the year. This portfolio is presented to parents annually at student led conferences. The Site-Based School Leadership Team has completed our school Learning Plan, and is implementing some innovative programs for all students.
