Evolving Programs Changes in staffing, curriculum, and instruction during the last five years have enabled MMS to meet the needs of its students better than ever before. Organizational approaches such as heterogeneous, homogeneous, and multigrade level groups allow all students to participate in a strong core curriculum that emphasizes language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, technology, wellness, art, music, and vocational classes. Technology for Today's Student A school-wide computer network system of over three hundred computers and interdisciplinary projects integrate subject areas to create a broad interdisciplinary curriculum. Teachers continually receive technological training and incorporate what they have learned into their roles as facilitators or mentors for the many individual and collaborative projects students undertake. Computers in each classroom are networked with those in the technology labs, allowing teachers to prescribe, monitor, and evaluate student work.
Technology offers a comprehensive educational support program for all students.
Each student has an individualized program enhanced by utilization of networked computers and the latest in educational software. The Academic Intervention Program provides supplementary support for students in mathematics. Strong Curriculum High achieving and gifted students are placed in advanced classes. They participate in a variety of challenging individual and team activities that provide local, state, and national competition. MMS students who have certified disabilities are served through special programs which include resource, speech, language, hearing, vision, physical therapy, and homebound instruction.
