Discovering the Tools for Success at St. James Middle School! ❤️🐯🤍

Mrs. Waldmann’s 8th graders are taking the next steps on their road to success. After completing a quiz to discover what kind of learner they are, students rotated through stations to explore seating options, academic tools, self-regulation strategies, and other supports.

Connected to their “I Can” statement, this activity helps students recognize what works best for their growth both in and out of the classroom. All Roads Lead Forward when our Tigers discover how they learn best!

ROX Program Grows in St. James R-1! 💪🐯🩷

St. James R-1 is growing the ROX (Ruling Our eXperiences) program! Last year, a small group of 6th-grade girls at St. James Middle School participated in this powerful initiative, building leadership skills, strengthening communication, and learning strategies to navigate life’s challenges.

Over the summer, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Wilson, and Mrs. Giacolone completed ROX training, which means we can now expand the program to reach even more students across the district. We will have groups in all three buildings this year! The lessons learned through ROX don’t just benefit individual students; they create a ripple effect that strengthens our entire school community! #caringrelationships #stjschools #tigerpride

Exploring the Senses in 4th Grade! 👃🔍👁️

Ms. Frisbee’s 4th graders explored all five senses during ELA with a tasty twist! They tried fresh mango sprinkled with a little Tajín, capturing every reaction on video. Students will later use their real-time responses to write paragraphs and dialogue, turning their sensory experience into writing. #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride
