Walnut Street School is a middle school for sixth, seventh and eighth graders.  An extracurricular program that encourages student participation and the support of our PTO enhances the academic program.  Our core courses include mathematics, integrated language arts, social studies and science. Our quarter courses are an integral part of our program and include home economics, Spanish, research, computers and music. Students participate in health/physical education four times a week. They have art twice a week throughout the year. Electives include art, cooking, drama, computers, math/science enrichment, and study skills. In addition, we also offer an enrichment program for our gifted students in academics and music. Our eighth graders may take Spanish I for high school credit and identified students take Algebra I.

 

Intensive GEPA readiness classes are offered in language arts, math and science. Most of our special education classes are now taught with regular education students by teaching teams.  A strong study skills program supports this where students receive individual help with homework and test preparation.   Our extracurricular program includes interscholastic girls' and boys' basketball, field hockey, baseball, cheerleading, student council, Impact (a service club), safety patrol, concert and jazz band, chorus, yearbook and monthly dances.

 

Through the student council and faculty support, school spirit is increased with student/faculty sports events, pep rallies which reward both scholastic and extracurricular successes and an annual Spirit Week. Our character education program provides opportunities for students to reach out and help others. As part of our character education program, students are recognized monthly for acts of kindness, participate in a school wide activity, which raises funds for charity, and receive points for their participation in school and community events.

 

We are thankful to the support given to us by our PTO. Through extensive fund raising, this group gives us extra programs and items needed to provide a complete educational experience for our students.   Their contributions include field trips and assemblies, a homework planner for each student, wish list educational items for our staff, contributions for the 8th grade trip and dance, graduation awards, and an end-of-the-year staff luncheon.  The educational program at Walnut Street School is comprehensive and the caring attitude of our staff is an extra that a school of our size can provide. The staff of the Walnut Street School appreciates continued parental support and cooperation of the community.
