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. Advanced classes:
Fast paced math- 6th grade
Advanced Math- 7th grade
Algebra- 8th grade
Honors English- 8th grade
Living Environment (Biology)- 8th grade

From the Principal...
As we begin the New Year, our middle school students
are working in preparation to take the New York State
ELA Assessment, which will be given January 21st and
22nd. Students will be offered a free hot breakfast each
morning in the cafeteria, which will be served from 7:20am
to 7:50am. All students are invited and encouraged to
eat a full meal prior to the assessment. Attendance on
the two testing days is very important; please make sure
your child arrives at school prior to 7:50am.
The middle school would like to welcome Heidi Gaasch
as our new school nurse. Her extension is 2066. Please
feel free to contact her with any health related questions.
If you have an address or phone number change, please
inform the main office with updated student information,
so we can continue to have open lines of communication.
As usual, if you have questions or concerns please feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely,
