winner Pictured: Ms. Mardene Willis - Language Arts Teacher Miranda McGee - 2009 Spelling Bee Winner Ms. Sonja Coaxum - Proud Principal of Fort Middle School We are focused on reaching targets academically and through social and emotional growth. Fort Middle School offers many opportunities that will help students advance to high school. We offer advanced, honors, and gifted courses that will ensure students excel in magnet high schools. There are many academic clubs and organizations that benefit students inside as well as outside of the classroom.There are several opportunities for students who may have missed a concept in class to receive help through our Friday Evening School program. This is also a chance for students to make up missed work. In February and March, Fort offers free Criterion Referenced Curriculum Test (CRCT) tutorials to help students pass the state exam. We offer writing, math, and language arts tutorials throughout the school year. Our curriculum is designed to ensure that our students have the safety nets they need for success.Fort is making progress towards becoming a charter school targeting fall 2010 to become Fort Middle School Service Learning Academy. Fort is a Learn and Serve school which develops academic skills while strengthening communities through service. Sample projects include designing playgrounds, building wheelchair ramps, using math, and/or teaching younger children to read. The benefits of the program include improved academic achievement, increased student engagement and civic skills producing stronger communities.We recognize that we can not do all of these positive activities without strong Partners in Education. Panasonic and MEDDAC assist us with many programs we have at our school including CRCT tutorials. We are supported by other community partners and leaders as well. So please join us at Fort Middle School, “The Best Middle School in the World!” |
