          PRIDE IN OURSELVES
 
Approximately 500 students in grades 6-8 attend Norwich Middle School.  There are roughly 56 teachers and several support staff that work with the students on a daily basis.  Each grade is divided into two teams, which allows teachers to personally get to know each student.
 
The 6th grade students meet daily with their team of teachers, while the 7 & 8 grade students meet on an every other day basis for 82-minutes.  In addition to the required core classes, students also take health, LOTE, home and career skills, technology, computer applications, art and music.
 
The middle school also has a variety of extra curricular activities for students in all grades to take part in after school:  jazz band, student council, art club, MS Musical, Olympics of the Mind, Drug Quiz and the Spelling Bee. 

Norwich Middle School offers remediation in math, reading, and written expression for students who need extra support during the school day.  

Advanced classes are also offered at the middle school with some classes resulting in high school credit.

Dear Families,

We value your input and your child’s input. Click here to complete a parent survey; this survey will help us improve what we are doing and for you as parents to have input on what happens at Norwich Middle School. Your child will also be able to take the student survey during the school day; both surveys are anonymous.

This survey will be available from March 5th through March 26th; if you do not have access to the internet but would like to participate in the survey please call the main office and we will send the survey home with your child.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
   

Sincerely,

Lisa Schuchman
