At Stauffer Middle School, we believe that student success is built on engagement, opportunity, and a sense of belonging! Our 7-period block schedule is designed to maximize all three.
Unlike traditional schedules, Stauffer Middle School’s student-centered block schedule allows us to go beyond the basics. It provides our Spartan students with an exceptional academic experience, ensuring rigorous instruction, high expectations, and a curriculum that challenges and inspires. But it doesn’t stop there… our schedule is uniquely structured to create deeper learning experiences, where our students actively engage, collaborate, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.
Here’s what makes Stauffer Middle School’s 7 period block schedule so incredibly valuable:
• Every student gets an elective! From the arts to STEM, world languages to music, our students have the opportunity to explore their passions and build new skills.
• We maximize instructional time! Our teachers have the flexibility to implement engaging, high-impact lessons.
• Focused learning environments that allow our students to deeply engage with material, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
