From Our Principal Mrs. Rang Yelm Middle School, like the other schools in the Yelm Community Schools, is working to produce an atmosphere that strives for educational excellence for all students. Students and teachers alike work to acquire the skills necessary to meet the standards for the Washington Assessment of Student Learning. We are a school of 7 th and 8 th grade students of approximately 700 emerging adolescents.
Students are on a seven-period day beginning each morning with daily announcements.
Other required classes include math, science, physical education and an elective. Student elective choices include band, choir, art, occupational diversity, technology, and home economics. Our building has one technology lab used as a classroom and an additional mini-lab in the library with research and word processing capabilities. The Accelerated Reader Program is a school-wide program that encompasses our belief in the importance of reading. Community support provides many incentives for students to read.
