4 A student s work in junior high school lays the foundation for a successful high school experience. The following pages are meant to help parents and students understand the requirements and opportunities available through Alexander Junior High School. It is intended that this information will provide an advance planning opportunity for junior high school students and their parents. The junior high school years, grades 6/7/8, are a unique period. Students undergo rapid and profound developmental changes during this time. As a result, middle schools have the challenge of addressing both the educational and social needs of young adolescents. It is the goal of Alexander Junior High School to embrace this challenge in meeting the needs of all junior high school students. Alexander Junior High School offers instructional programs designed to meet the needs of individual students, as they teach and reinforce skills necessary for junior high school success and prepare students for future high school study. Students are afforded opportunities for enrichment and acceleration, as well as for intervention and academic support, if necessary. A successful junior high school experience provides students with academic skills and knowledge, along with an understanding of the importance of responsibility, organization, time management, and effort. Junior high school serves as a bridge to the future. The purpose of this Junior High School Course Catalog is to inform parents and students about the various courses currently offered at the junior high school level. It is intended that students and parents review this catalog together and make informed decisions about students course requests. Please contact the school counselor if you need assistance during the scheduling process. 4
5 Common Questions regarding Junior High: Is it important for parents to be involved during junior high school? YES! Parent involvement in their child s education is more important in junior high school than ever. When parents are actively involved in their student s education, students do better in junior high. When parents become involved, both students and school benefit: grades and test results are higher; students attitudes and behavior are more positive; academic programs are more successful; and schools, as a whole, are more effective. Even if your child says he/she doesn t want you to be involved, stay involved! What can parents do to prepare students for junior high school? 1. Ask to see homework. Ask daily to see what kinds of activities are assigned for homework. By seventh grade, students are required to do homework daily. If your student says that he/she does not have any homework, check with the teacher. 2. Help develop a routine for homework. Students show that if they follow a routine and parents expect their students to do their homework before they can watch television or play video games, etc. students are generally more successful in school. 3. Ask about your child s assignments and grades. When they go to junior high school, students are required to write down their assignments and homework either in their binder, student agenda, or assignment record sheet. Parents are encouraged to check assignments and grades through the Infinite Campus Portal (Parent Assist). 4. Communicate with the school staff. There are multiple ways for parents to communicate with their child s teachers and school. All teachers can be contacted through , phone or the Infinite Campus Portal. Many misunderstandings can be resolved quickly if there is strong and clear communication between the school and home. 5. Encourage your child to read and write. One of the best ways for a student to become a better reader and writer is to practice. Just as an athlete gets better with practice, so does a student become a better reader and writer with practice. Regular reading enhances a student s vocabulary. Vocabulary development is key to academic success in high school and entry into college. 6. Infinite Campus Portal Account: Students are required to create their own personal Infinite Campus Portal Account to be used at school. Parents are encouraged to create their own account so they can see their student s academic progress and communicate with teachers. Information will be given out at the beginning of the school year. 5
