This new grant from the School Building Authority provided for sixteen additional classrooms , a kitchen , commons , and an instructional area for instrumental and choral music . The design of the new school helps promote teamwork among teachers in several core subjects. Students coming from the elementary school fifth grades are accustomed to the security of a single desk with a single teacher in a single classroom. The middle school takes the best of both worlds to provide a gradual transition from childhood. Students are assigned to teams of three to five teachers, and most of the classes are taught in a common location for each team.
Students merely walk to an adjacent room the change classes.
Lockers are located close be the team area. Students take part in many group activities. A teaching team shares common planning time which helps helps them coordinate special instructional events and units of study. With the growth of student numbers in recent years, portable buildings were installed. Roofing material and insulation lies on the steel decking.
