Mission

Sage Park Middle School is a student-centered community that serves approximately 700 sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students.  The mission of Sage Park Middle School is to engage all students in opportunities for academic, social, and emotional growth in a supportive learning community so that they will achieve at high academic levels, make responsible choices, and develop into good citizens. 

What is a Middle School?

Middle school students are at a transitional period in their lives, accentuated by rapid growth and varied levels of personal development. These early adolescent years are a time of physical, emotional, intellectual, and social growth characterized by self-consciousness, restlessness, and anxiety.  The developmental challenge of gaining independence during this transitional period requires understanding adults who provide an environment of respect, structure, compassion, and consistent discipline. At Sage Park Middle School, we employ educational strategies to challenge and encourage all students to develop the critical thinking skills needed to become self-motivated learners, effective communicators, and responsible citizens.  We expect our students to be productive, literate members of the 21st century.  The staff, programs, and facilities of the school provide an environment and resources to promote high expectations in individual scholarship, character development, physical well-being, creative expression, problem solving, and an appreciation of individual and cultural differences.

Progress Reporting

Parent’s will receive eight progress updates during the school year.  In the form of a report card at the end of each quarter and a progress update halfway through the quarter.  All progress reports and report cards are available online through the Powerschool parent portal

Parental Support & Communication

Sage Park has an active Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). Regular meetings are held to inform and request input from parents about the school and its programs.  Sage Park makes home contact regularly through notices, newsletters, email, automated calls, home visits, and provides 24-hour online access to student grades and attendance through the Parent Portal.  Parents are also contacted as the need arises for academic and disciplinary reasons.  Parents are encouraged to contact teachers or counselors.  Working together, we can provide the best middle school experience for our children.

V.I.P. Program (Very Invested Person)

The Very Invested Person program (V.I.P.) teaches and promotes positive choices and behaviors in the areas of respect, responsibility, and safety.  This school-wide system rewards students who demonstrate these three universal values.
