Restructuring of Teams 2020-2021

 Please read the letter below discussing team restructuring for the year. 


September 14, 2020

 

Dear Kammerer Families,

 

The first twelve days of school have been amazing during Kammerer Middle School’s NTI 2.0 roll out and I could not be more proud to be the Principal of this school community.  Thank you for preparing your young SCHOLARS for middle school, and continuing to support them at home each day. My staff of CHAMPION teachers ensured that we had a smooth start to the school year, in fact, I believe we will still be on track to make it our best school year ever!

 

At Kammerer, we are going to make a few shifts in our teaching teams as our enrollment numbers have exceeded projections. We are excited to announce we have created a third 8th grade teaching team.  This adjustment will shift some students to our new URSA team. This restructuring will not impact the Band, Orchestra or Chorus classes, nor will it impact Advanced Placements or course offerings. In fact, it will allow us to serve our students and provide more individualized opportunities.  There will be additional communication to families directly impacted by the change.

 

In addition to 8th grade, 6th grade will shift from a total of 12 teachers to a total of 10. In 6th grade we will have (2) four person teaching teams and (1) two person teaching team. This shift will also allow for appropriate class sizes and will not impact course offerings. Follow up will come from grade level administration and teachers who will welcome your child.

 

As educators, we strive to ensure that all of our Scholar’s will be prepared for the next grade level, and in doing so, we have aligned all grade level curriculum and content. Therefore, whatever team assignment your child may have, they will receive the same curriculum and content. 

 

We value our partnership with you and appreciate your dedication to your child’s success! We anticipate all changes to be in place and in effect by September 21, 2020.  Please don’thesitate to reach out to myself, or your child’s grade level Assistant Principal or Counselor.

 

Sincerely,

D. Armour

Principal

Kammerer Middle School
