LETTER TO 7TH AND 8TH GRADE FAMILIES

Dear Central Middle School Families:

We believe that middle school is an important time of transition for students. We recognize the unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs and qualities of students in this age group. To support student growth, a middle school curriculum must be authentic, engaging, rigorous, and developmentally responsive to their needs. The school culture must provide a supportive environment where students are empowered to gain the knowledge, skills, and competencies foundational for success in life. Our caring and responsive staff are committed to encouraging students’ growing independence.

Forest Hills Middle School students will benefit from a rigorous core curriculum aligned with the Michigan Academic Standards and benchmarks in language arts, math, science, and social studies, combined with an interesting variety of exploratory opportunities. Guidance and support services are a part of our comprehensive whole-child approach to education. Results of the Michigan State Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP) have shown that Forest Hills Public Schools consistently rank among the highest-scoring districts in the state of Michigan. When measuring our success, however, we do not simply look at one data set. We value the quality of relationships and interactions we have every day with our students, their families, and staff. We model respect and understanding for each other.

We invite the active involvement and participation of our students’ families as learning partners in the middle school educational experience. This guide serves as a planning tool as you and your student consider middle school learning opportunities. An important aspect of planning for their secondary education, each student will develop an Educational Development Plan (EDP) related to their future career and education goals after high school. To help you better understand the Michigan Merit Curriculum and related requirements, we have provided an additional section in our course description guide starting on page 4. If you are new to Forest Hills, our counseling staff is available to support students in selecting and scheduling the appropriate courses for middle school. We look forward to working with you and your child as we plan together for a successful school year ahead.

Sincerely,
Jeff Simon, Central MS
David Simpson, Ph.D., Northern Hills
Kristine Yelding, MS Eastern MS

Educational Development Plans (EDP)

The Michigan Merit Curriculum (MMC) legislation states, “each pupil in grade 7 is provided with the opportunity to develop an educational development plan, and that each pupil has developed an educational development plan before he or she begins high school. An educational development plan shall be developed by the pupil under the supervision of the pupil’s school counselor or another designee qualified to act in a counseling role under section 1233 or 1233a selected by the high school principal and shall be based on a career pathways program or similar career exploration program.” (MCL 380.1278a)

The EDP is a secondary/post-secondary planning tool that directs the educational plan and career planning activities schedule. In their EDP, students identify a career pathway and write employment, education, and training goals. They also identify a course of study (the credits that will be taken) intended to provide the skills and competencies needed to be successful in the next steps after high school. EDP’s are “living” documents that are updated as students age and their interests and abilities become more obvious and focused. It is recommended that the EDP be updated at least annually in conjunction with other planning activities designed to support student achievement. (MDE MMC Guidelines v.12.07)

Forest Hills students begin planning for their EDP in seventh grade during classroom guidance. Students are introduced to a web-based career and post-secondary exploration program called Naviance. Students and parents are issued an individual login so they may access the program from home as well as at school. Students complete state requirements for the EDP during eighth grade, including a career interest inventory and documenting short-term as well as long-term life goals. Counselors work with students each year to update the EDP to ensure course selections align with their educational pathway, employment, education, and training goals. During high school, students and parents will also utilize Naviance, a web-based program that helps track EDP information, high school grades, test scores, extra-curricular activities, applications to college, and other post-secondary training programs.

COURSE SELECTION INFORMATION

  • Seventh-grade students are required to take a full year of math, science, language arts, social studies, and ACE (these classes will be automatically scheduled).
  • Eighth-grade students are required to take a full year of math, science, language arts, social studies, and ACE (these classes will be automatically scheduled).
  • At Forest Hills Central Middle School, we value opportunities to provide each student with additional core content area support. Your child’s academic progress will be assessed in an ongoing process along with a review of standardized test data and ongoing dialogue between core teachers. Some classes are prescribed for students on an individual basis as we recognize some students may require additional support to refine their skills. Central Middle School staff is dedicated to providing a course of instruction that meets the individual needs of the learners we serve.

EARNING HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT

FHPS middle school students who successfully complete a high school credit course in<div>a FHPS middle school (Central, Northern, and Eastern) will receive a letter grade on their transcript and earn high school graduation credit. The high school course will count toward the student’s high school cumulative grade point average. (If a middle school student chooses to take an online course for high school credit, the student will receive the grade issued by the online provider.)

Students wishing to enroll in online courses outside the school environment should see their counselor to make sure that upon completion, the course can be included on the Forest Hills transcript.

Once a student registers for and attends a class, he or she agrees to the district’s requirements for earning a grade in the class. If a student fails a required course for graduation, credit is not granted, and the class must be made up. Since there is little room in a student’s schedule each year for makeup classes, the failed credit can be recovered in various ways, such as summer school, taking an online class, repeating the course, testing out, or other credit recovery options.

STUDENT SCHEDULE EXAMPLES

Please note that these are example schedules; more possibilities exist.

All students will have 4 core and 204 elective classes depending on their preferences.
Core classes will be automatically scheduled.
Electives are 1 semester (S) or year-long/2-semesters (Y).
