hello my name is Ken See and I'm the principal at
Grandville Middle School we are a 7-8
building structured around teaming, which means
every student is a part of a smaller
team of students within our building we consider
that a school within a school that means that every student
would belong to a group of
four teachers that meet weekly
to discuss the needs of the students
that are on their team this allows them to support
the academic and social emotional needs
of those students we offer a 7 period day
which means outside of their four core classes
students also get three electives each day
we have several classes that
students can choose from such as art, PE,
all three musics, we have
STEM, we have several different classes
that students can choose to take outside
their cores we have advanced classes
for those students that qualify to earn high school
credit we have four athletic seasons
at the middle school and that allows students to try
different activities to determine what
they're most interested in we have over a dozen after
school clubs that students can take part in
again these are ways where students can find
their group the people they want to hang out
with and that is is important to them at this age
we emphasize the three habits of mind
of responsibility respect and resilience
we ask students to come to school
every day and to be nice to people to take care of their
academic responsibilities and to work hard
we ask students on a scale of 1 to
10 to do their personal best - Be an 11 - we look
forward to having your child work with us
at Grandville Middle School and go Bulldogs
