Homework Expectations

The primary purpose of homework is practice, an extension of the day’s work, time to work on long-term projects or an investigation of something for class discussion, not introduction of a new skill. Students should be able to complete it independently. If unable to complete an assignment independently, please notify your teacher. 7th—8th grade teachers work together as a team to plan for approximately one hour nightly, unless a student opts to take on extra courses or enrichment, such as language, algebra, music, band, etc.

Food Drive

Middle School
Operation Happiness
Canned Food Drive
November 18th-December 11th
5th - 8th Grade Competition


Operation Happiness is a community initiative run by dedicated volunteers that relies heavily on the generosity and support of our community. With over 300 volunteers joining together each year, Operation Happiness is able to provide baskets of food during the holidays to over 1,100 families throughout Franklin and Grand Isle Counties. (fgiunitedway.org)   


Every holiday season, SATEC families give back to the community in various ways. This year, we will be hosting a friendly competition in the middle school to support Operation Happiness.

If you can spare any non-perishable food items, please send them in with your child. This is a competition between grade levels.
Thank you for your contribution to our canned food drive!
