Mission and Vision

At Small Middle School, our goal is to support students and assist them in overcoming barriers that may hinder learning. Through SEL (social emotional learning), individual and group counseling, our program is dedicated to equip our students with the skills necessary to become autonomous individuals. All stakeholders (counselors, students, parents, teachers, administrators and community members) will work collaboratively in creating an experience that helps bridge each child’s transition from elementary and into high school and foster’s the student’s academic, wellness and personal goals. Together, we will assist students in making quality decisions and planning ahead for a brighter future.

Student Scholarship/School Support Information

If a class or club is asking for a fee and you are in need of support, please complete the Scholarship Approval and Notification. Thank you!

Student Schedules

All students will receive their official, final schedule on the first day of school. If you notice any errors in the schedule—such as two of the same courses, you can request a schedule change. Schedule changes will not be accommodated for reasons such as a change of mind, teacher preference, or wanting to be with friends. Our counselors have worked diligently to place students in the classes they selected on their choice sheets. If a class was full, they enrolled students in the next available option based on the priority indicated. If you have and schedule error, just click here to inform your counselor of the issue and request a schedule change.
