CYMS School Philosophy
CYMS School Philosophy
CY continues to foster middle school best practice through a teaming philosophy. CORE teams, composed of 4 to 5 teachers each, will instruct students in math, science, social studies, and language arts. A collaboration period (Professional Learning Community collaboration) will be provided for each team. During the collaboration period the teams will focus on individual student needs/growth/achievement, improving school-parent communication, interdisciplinary connections, curriculum alignment to priority standards, development of proficiency scales and common assessments, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, and planning for activities.
6th and 7th grade programs focus on making a positive and less stressful transition from elementary to the middle level setting. 8th grade will be based on the same interdisciplinary team premise as 6th/7th grades; teams will key in on unique social, emotional, physical, and educational aspects of their grade levels. The goal of 8th grade is to help students make a successful transition from middle school to high school.
Our exploratory/elective teacher teams (E CORE) complement our CORE teams by working together to provide a well-rounded educational experience.
