Foundations

Foundations is an advisory class that helps students ease into the transition from elementary to middle school.​​​

• The class will help students build a community of connectedness among their classmates and their teacher.
• The class is designed to help students feel connected to and advocated for by a team of teachers and staff.
• Students will be part of a caring environment with a focus on academic achievement, digital citizenship, social-emotional learning and college and career topics.
• Every student participates in the full period class (held every other day).
• The class is graded as Pass/No Pass.
• Every 8th grade student receives instruction on financial literacy topics. A capstone experience is attending Junior Achievement's Finance Park where students assume a persona, a job and a budget to work with.
