Academics

Study Zone, Homework Zone, Achievement Zone

A commitment to academic achievement and the success of our students in everyday life.

In order to support students who would benefit from academic intervention, Scott Middle School has developed a multi-tiered system to support students. Multi-tiered Systems of Support-Academic will help students be successful with:

Developing academic and life skills
Practicing and completing meaningful work
Building confidence
Decreasing stress
Increasing parent communication/engagement
