Mission Statement:

Program Description:
We are committed to fostering life-long learners who are prepared academically and socially for the transition to high school following the completion of three years of study at Kelly Middle School. Rigorous academic explorations tempered with socially responsible instructional practices will help students become contributors in our democratic society. Our teachers and administrators strive to educate the whole student by extending instruction from the core subject areas into P.E.(required), music, technology, and second language learning environments.
School Highlights:
  • Small learning communities allow students and teachers to get to know each other well; to build on students' strengths and to encourage the development of new skills and abilities.
  • All students receive daily instruction in the core areas of science, math, language arts and social studies. In addition, students are gain knowledge in Spanish or Japanese, technology applications, band, and/or P.E
  • Our daily schedule allows teams of teachers to plan and deliver integrated, thematic units of study in the core areas; project-based learning and best practices inform our instruction
  • Special programs available to all students, including: after school enrichment; Homework Club; Orchestra; Yearbook Club; Ganas; Student Council, WEB Leaders, Kelly Greeters, and Adult Mentor program
  • Opportunities for students to gain knowledge & understanding of the world by participating in a range of community service activities including Community Unity Day, annual Food Drive, & our 8th grade"Be the Change" class
School Improvement Goals:
  • We are committed to an active, engaged learning community
  • We develop and maintain structures and strategies for effective, focused and direct communication
  • We are committed to professional development and continually assessing and addressing the needs of our students, parents and guardians, staff and community members
  • We will provide an effective, dynamic schedule with programs that promote the academic, physical and social development of every student
  • We strive to increase collaboration with students, parents and guardians, and staff
Other Information:
With a strong emphasis on technology, all LA/SS block classes have a laptop computer for each student. Similarly, each math/science block class boasts a SMART Board (interactive white board). Each classroom is also home to document cameras with even others utilizing "student response systems" (clickers), airliners, and MP3 players all aimed at enhancing instruction in the 21st Century. With new computer hardware in place, our efforts move toward instructional technology; the integration of technology into teaching and learning. Instructional technology is the accessing, synthesizing and presenting of student learning using the appropriate technological tool.
