Middle School Homeroom

 

The Goals of Homeroom are to:

•    Ensure that each student is well known at school by at least one adult who is that student’s advocate.
•    Guarantee that every student belongs to a peer group in which he/she develops skills in group dynamics.
•    Help every student develop strengths in both academic and social settings.
•    Provide a forum for sharing experiences, thoughts and feelings.


Schedule: 

Homeroom is the last class of the day (Wednesday) and is held for 39 min.
