Students in the 7th and 8th grades are faced with many new and exciting challenges. In addition to emotional maturation, physical growth, social development and change, students are caught in a transitional period between their elementary and high school years. Our program of studies and activities, at Kittatinny, has been developed to foster a successful adjustment during these years.
Skill development is stressed, particularly in mathematics, writing and reading, to provide students with the cognitive foundation required for success in high school. We have made provisions for students to gain exposure to a wide variety of courses and activities such as Band, Chorus, Business and Career Exploration, and Digital Media Research. Additionally, students will take Spanish and enjoy a "hands-on experience" through the special elective cycle classes. All of these courses are designed to develop well-rounded students as they prepare for high school and the future.
Separate physical education classes, clubs and activities are provided for these seventh and eighth grade students. In order to fully utilize the school facilities, students will interact with upper-classmen in areas such as the media center and select classrooms, which are used by all students.
