We are delighted to provide Middle School students with a challenging and interesting program. Above all, we look forward to the teaching and learning opportunities that this curriculum offers to students and faculty alike.
Homework
The purpose of homework is to provide students with practice and extension activities that reinforce new concepts they have learned. Additionally, planning, organizing, and completing homework assignments helps students develop good study habits and time management skills. Generally, sixth grade students have one hour or less of nightly homework, and seventh and eighth grade students can expect one and a half hours or less of nightly homework. There may be occasional exceptions, but if students follow the long-term assignment guidelines that teachers recommend, they should be able to maintain a manageable homework schedule. Teachers do not assign homework over fall, winter, or spring breaks and some evenings on which religious holidays begin or school-sponsored activities occur.
Academic Support
The academic support counselor assists students with learning differences, working closely with parents, teachers, and academic advisors to make the Rowland Hall curriculum accessible to all students. The counselor will recommend outside tutors whenever necessary. Additionally, classroom teachers are available during quiet study to work with the students.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled in October and February, during which ten minutes are allotted for discussion with each requested teacher and/or administrator. Nearly all parents attend these conferences, and teachers and principals are very responsive to questions and concerns communicated by email or telephone at any time.
