Middle School Learning Plans

The learning plans are meant to work as a guide for parents to understand what students will be learning at each grade level and by content area. The actual lessons and accompanying assignments will be provided by their classroom teachers.

The lessons will follow the TEKS, or state standards for learning, in core classes as students move into the final six weeks of the year.
