| Fannin County Middle School |  |
| | The National Middle School Association and the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform state that middle schools must be: Academically Excellent, Developmentally Responsive, and Socially Equitable. | | The Fannin County School System is dedicated to meeting these national standards in a variety of ways through its middle school program. The Department of Middle School Instruction will facilitate the implementation of the new Georgia Performance Standards Curriculum, which is rich in Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships. | | The Fannin School System offers essential instruction in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies in the middle school program. Connections classes are available in the middle school program. Courses are designed to meet the needs of students moving from childhood into adolescence with the implementation of the Teachers-As-Advisors program. | | The Fannin School System is committed to a premier middle school program. Extended Learning Time provides a daily opportunity to engage in extra study in a core area. This period provides each academic team the opportunity to remediate and enrich the academic experiences of students as needed. Benchmark assessments, done through Thinkgate, help to identify student needs, target instruction, and guide remediation. | The Middle School program is designed to meet the special needs and characteristics of the adolescent student; it is student-centered and content-driven. Middle schools provide students with consistent academic and behavior expectations from all staff. Because an informed parent is essential to a student's success, a basic tenet of the middle school program is to communicate with parents at every opportunity. The middle school program also promotes communication among teachers through the interdisciplinary team approach. Within the team, discussion concerning the student's performance and welfare. The teachers' communication in team meetings provides them with a more complete picture of the student's work, and helps early identification of any problems or weaknesses a student may have.
