Star Valley Middle School provides
a rigorous academic program aligned and assessed with the state
standards of the Wyoming Department of Education.
All students are required to be enrolled in Social Studies, Science,
Language Arts, and Math classes in each of the two years they spend at
Star Valley Middle School.
All students are assigned to a team of at least five teachers that
assist students in their progress during the school year. Elective
teachers supplement each student’s schedule with challenging and
interesting subjects including Physical Education; Industrial Arts;
Music (Band, Orchestra, and Choir); Art; Computers; and Home Economics.
“Social skills are vital for a student’s success in life. At Star
Valley Middle School each student is taught and then practices social
and academic skills along with regular classroom instruction.”
STARS class is a scheduled time period each day where students are
involved in reading, study, and the instruction and practice of social
and academic skills. Students are assigned to a classroom
teacher/advisor that assists each student in charting their progress
throughout the school year. Teachers use the Boys Town social skills
handbook as a guide in helping students achieve quality citizenship
skills.
All students who meet the requirements of the state standards achieve
the privilege of taking part in the 8th grade promotional exercise at
the end of the school year.
