Welcome to
Innovation Middle School!
The vision of Innovation Middle School is to inspire students to be
intellectually prepared and engaged in curricula focused on the integration of
science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics with a deliberate
worldview and commitment to creativity, innovation and character.
It is our pleasure
to welcome you to our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math)
school where students are empowered to be civically and digitally
literate. We are a one-to-one technology
school where students are provided the tools and the ambition they need to
become digitally literate citizens.
Innovation
Middle School’s learning experiences are centered around:
·
Critical thinking and problem solving
·
Communication
·
Collaboration
·
Creativity & innovation
·
Character
Aligning
with SDUSD’s Mission, Innovation Middle School is committed to the following:
·
Restorative
Justice Practices cultivate community on campus with a focus on building
strong relationships between students and staff. They hold students accountable
for their actions while giving them a high level of support to create a campus
culture of learning and safety for all school community members.
·
Positive
Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is the emphasis on
school-wide systems of support that include proactive strategies for
defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create
positive school environments, both in the classroom and outside, but within the
school setting (e.g., hallways, restrooms, etc.).
We believe that preparing students for the 21st century learning and
citizenship is a team effort – at home, at school, within the community, and
throughout the day. The staff at iMiddle
takes a student-centered approach to learning so that students are at the center
of creating, doing and making. We encourage students to adopt a growth mindset,
to be open to being challenged and to recognize failures as first attempts in
learning. Our classes have intellectual
depth and rigor so that each student can grow to their fullest potential. We look forward to growing future-ready
students who will make a positive impact in the world.
iMiddle students are expected to follow iMiddle SOAR
expectations (Safety, Ownership, Attitude, Respect)
