MIDDLE SCHOOL NETWORK - [Middle School parents, educators, students; On-going project] Middle school curriculum and activities programs are designed to recognize that adolescents have unique physical, intellectual, and social-emotional development. The middle school program attempts to balance the development of the student in each of these areas. Students are involved in activities to help them understand their growth in these areas, and to make short term and long term plans to capitalize on their strengths and address their shortcomings or expressed needs. In short, the middle school program is acutely aware of the need to educate the whole child. Contact: Lyle Jensen, Robert Coulson, Dennis Golombek, and Joe Hoover (xx104@nptn.org)
