Why are 8th graders moving to the high school?
Moving 8th graders to the high school will give these students more opportunities to take high school level classes earlier– in a safe, secure wing of the high school. We have empty classrooms at the high school, and teachers who may not have a full schedule, and so we can use our facilities AND our staff more efficiently. Finally, moving the 8th grade, will allow space for 5th grade in the current middle school. Likewise, moving the 5th grades out of the elementary schools will take students out of those buildings and free up space at that level.
