You will soon be
starting middle school!
• Elkhorn Middle School is a
special place!
• You will have many
opportunities to meet new
friends, learn new things,
and think about your
future.
• There are more choices
and more independence
in middle school.
• You will go to a different
classroom for each subject.
EMS has a 7 period day.
You will have 6 teachers
and a grade level Advisory
teacher (homeroom).
Advisory Time – What is this??
• Advisory Time is time to
set goals, and learn
character Education.
• Advisory Time is in the
morning from 8:40-9:10
• Advisory Time is time
enjoyed by
both students and
teachers!
EMS sounds great,
what will I like?
• Your own locker
• New friends
• Sports
• More choices
• Clubs and activities
• Rewards for Following HERD
Now Let’s Talk About
your Classes!
• You will have freedom to move from
classroom during class changes.
• You will have 2 minutes between
classes for classes in the 6th grade
hall
• You will have 4 minutes between
classes for Exploratory classes.
• YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO
GET WHERE YOU NEED TO GO!
Exploratory Classes
• Ensure that you are a well rounded
student
• Help prepare you for life in the 21st
century
• Expose you to things that you may
never experience
How do I know what Exploratory classes I
will get?
• If you decide to take Band or Choir,
you will have that class for at least
one period each day of the week.
• The other class in your
Exploratory schedule will be
randomly generated for you
by Infinite Campus.
• Be Patient! You may not get
PE , Visual Arts, technology,
Business and Careers, or
Practical Living this
Semester, but you will at
some point.
Academic Goals
• Goals are set each Monday or the first school day of
the week
• Goals are set during Advisory class
• Goals will be checked each week to see how you
have progressed in reaching them
• All goals will be SMART Goals
• Specific
• Measurable
• Action-Oriented
• Realistic
• Timely
Physical Activity
• We encourage students here at EMS to get at least 60
minutes of physical activity every day.
• You will set a physical Activity goal each week in Advisory
Class
• Being physically active does not mean you have to “play”
a Sport.
60 minutes of physical
activity each day doesn’t
just improve my health,
it makes me a better
student
Lockers! Oh No!!!
