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.
