    Middle School Accelerated Learning

    Middle School Summer School is for students entering grades 6-8.  91ÊÓƵ³ÉÈËÍøÕ¾ Summer School teachers will get to know their students well and understand where and how they need to develop to grow as individual learners. Our teachers use data from multiple sources to diagnose student needs, use their professional skills, and share knowledge of best practices to personalize learning for every student. Each day, teachers will work with students in small groups and individually to get more structured support for students.   Students will participate in math and reading daily in exciting courses designed to support growth in needed areas for accelerated learning and/or for high school credits. All summer school students in middle school will attend North Richland Middle School.  Transportation will be provided from the home campus as needed.
