Teaming is the cornerstone of Sycamore Middle School's philosophy. Teaming is what makes the difference between Junior High and Middle School.  In a middle school, there is a team of teachers who work together with common students.  Daily time is spent planning to best serve students' needs.  It creates a smaller school within a big school.

At SMS, we have eight teams.   Each team develops its identity, adopts a community service project and a core value, and works to develop interdisciplinary units. These units make connections between subjects to help students see that all areas of school are related. Teams allow for:

            • a more personal approach to learning
            • better teacher/parent communication
            • increased opportunity for interdisciplinary teaching
            • closer communication between teachers
            • greater flexibility in scheduling

             
    We are proud to maximize these benefits of middle school philosophy at Sycamore Middle School.  Each team works hard to provide the most positive experience possible!
