MIDDLE SCHOOLS
Learning Center (LC) & Resource Specialists (RSP)
A Learning Center is included at each site. The Learning Center is comprised of a Speech
Pathologist’s office, a Psychologist’s office, an IEP conference room, a flex office and a small
group area. These program spaces total 1,100 square feet.
The Learning Center is ideally located near administration or central to the campus where it
is readily accessible to students. It is intended to provide flexibility to support programs that
have changing populations of students that need small group space.
Adjacent to the Learning Center are 480 square foot Resource Specialist (RSP) rooms. By
collocating these two functions, multiple small group spaces are readily available for use.
Electives
Electives are a vital part of any middle school experience; they introduce students to a variety
of programs and serve as a building block for the array of electives offered at the high school
level. To that end, elective spaces were provided as part of the base junior high school
master plans, including Music (Band/Choral). All of these elective spaces are larger in size
than a typical classroom, except for Foreign Language which would occur in a typical 960
square foot classroom.
Special Day Class (SDC)
Special Day Classes move around the District based on population needs, therefore the
master plan maintains the current number of classrooms on each campus as they currently
exist.
Innovation Lab
Each site will have one 1200 square foot Innovation Lab adjacent to the Library/Media Center.
This space is a technology-rich computer-based space. As the educational environment
transitions toward one-to-one student device atmospheres, the purpose of this room may
transition over time.
Shade Structures
A 2400 square foot shade structure is included at each site.
