Our Programs
Terman Middle School

Thanks to parent and community support for Partners in Education, Terman has received $154,676 from PiE for the 2011-12 school year. These funds are used as follows:

 

Student Support. - Spending to maintain one counselor per grade level, who move with the students from 6th through 8th grade, providing continuity and a deeper connection with individual students (approximately 40%). Counselors meet weekly with teacher teams to help maintain student wellness and connections.

Additional Electives. - Spending to support staffing for electives, including music (choir), public speaking/drama, and creative writing to allow Terman to offer a broad range of electives even though it is smaller than other PAUSD middle schools. An array of electives can help young people find their areas of interest and passion, fostering confidence, enthusiasm, and success in school. (60%)

Helping Students Become Better Students.- Help fund a Focus on Success class (intervention for general-ed students needing study skills support)

Additional Technology Support - Partially fund our Technology Teacher on Special Assignment.

 

"We are very grateful to our PiE donors who clearly care about our young people and their middle school experience. PiE makes it possible for us to maintain our elective courses, and to continue to offer counseling services and activities that address the socio-emotional needs specific to middle schoolers, and ultimately improve their connectedness to school."

– Katherine Baker, Terman Principal
