A MESSAGE FROM:

Sterling Middle School

2025-2026

Sterling Middle School houses grades 6-8 in one building with a students population near 400. The sixth grade operates on an eight-period day schedule while the 7th and 8th-grade classes operate on a four-block, 90-minute schedule. The school employs 56 individuals. Each grade level team is comprised of two math, two ELA, one social studies, one science and one special education teacher; except the sixth-grade class shares the special education teachers from 7th and 8th grades. Efforts are being… made to evaluate scheduling for special education. The Unified Arts team includes, music, band, art, STEAM lab, technology, and physical education. MTSS teams meet each week to address the needs of students regarding attendance, behavior, social emotional learning, and academics among other things. Student cell phone usage is limited to lunch recess, and in September 2024, the school board adopted a policy which limits student cell phone usage. A district attendance team was also formed that includes a Community Engagement Board. This team meets with school administration each month to review student attendance. The district Gifted & Talented coordinator meets regularly with the school GT coordinator to ensure students are challenged and ALPs are met. The district online program, Six12 was extended to in-person online learning at SMS.
