I am looking forward to a positive and productive year at Desert Springs Middle School. We will continue to implement Common Core Standards for Sixth Grade Language Arts and Social Studies. I am anxious to meet all of my students and their parents for this school year. The transition from elementary school to middle school can be a big adjustment for most students. In middle school, students are expected to become more independent and to take on more responsibility for their learning. Students will need a lot of support from home and school in order to confidently take on the exciting and new challenges of middle school.
In order to foster the educational success for each child, it is important that he/she comes to school rested and prepared with school supplies (including a binder, pencils, and paper) daily. Parents are encouraged to log onto Parent VUE & Portal weekly to check their student's grades and assignments. This is a great way to ensure that students are keeping up with their assignments, projects, and tests. I would also like to recommend to both students and parents to read our Newsletter and Calendar links to stay informed.
I'm looking forward to a great year!
Thank you, Mrs. Curran
