Welcome to Calhoun Middle School!
This year marks my 13th anniversary at Calhoun Middle School and I'm just as excited about being here as I was on my first day. In total, I have taught high school and middle school for 25 years.
As an International Baccalaureate World School, students attend 8 classes per day. This means Reading and English will be combined into one Language and Literature class. language and Literature classes will be 90 minutes long this year instead of 45. This change is due to the Texas Education Agency's combining Reading and Writing TEKS into one standard unit. EXPO students will address these TEKS through various materials that will also touch on TEKS in science, math, art, and social studies.
Please review the Texas Reading and English TEKS and the EXPO Scope and Sequence found on my webpage. As assessments are made and entered into the Home Access Center, they will be referred to by these standards.
I look forward to our new year. Please contact me at rclark4@dentonisd.org or 940-369-2385 if you have any questions.
