PERFORMANCE ORTUNITIES
BySeventh Grade, students are better able to engage in critical thinking and problemsolving. Theyare more adept at seeing various perspectives and at providing reasons behind their assertions. Analytical writing becomes increasinglyimportant in English, History, and Science classes, and Algebraic functions demand greater abstract reasoning in conjunction with arithmetic skills. Students continue to have the option to participate in the Fall Playand Spring Musical as well as interscholastic sports. In Innovation Lab, Seventh Graders have the opportunityto create small trinkets using 3D printers and sell them to younger students during “Seventh Grade Business.”
