The principal and staff
envision a learning environment that nurtures the concept
that every child can learn. It is the vision of the Middle
School that within two years each student will meet
competency levels on or above the state criteria. Our focus
is on interdisciplinary activities differentiated to meet
the needs of all students. Each child is encouraged to
participate in all aspects of the school community.
At the Middle School, we work to realize the notion that all
children should be empowered to achieve their personal best.
There are opportunities for each child to gain academic and
artistic success as well as activities designed to ensure
growth experiences in the areas of citizenship, leadership,
and peer relationships.
Reflecting the community’s desire for high quality
education, the Board of Education and Central Administration
facilitate the implementation and maintenance of high
caliber programs which meet the NYS Standards in all
academic areas. Among our foremost concerns is that our
students demonstrate the ability to understand the writing
process and exhibit mastery before they leave the Middle
School. Another chief concern is the refinement of reading,
listening, and critical thinking skills. Special focus areas
also include problem solving, computer literacy, technology,
hands-on science exploration, and creative expression.
Programs have been developed in each area that allow for
student achievement, thereby strengthening self-esteem.
