Did you know Mayer Middle School and Fairview High School have a PTA? We sure do! Our PTAs are combined and meet at 6pm on the second Wednesday of the month at the high school (Room 125). Can't make the meetings? That's OK! Many members help in other ways throughout the year or simply join to support our schools. We work to support our students and staff members through various events and activities throughout the year. You can join online
here
and go to "Join the PTA" or you can print out a membership
form
and turn it into the Middle School or High School office stating PTA on the envelope. Thank you and we hope our students and staff have a great year!

Student Experience
What is project-based learning?
Projects are the foundation of the academic experience. Through project-based learning,
students develop cognitive skills
- like critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making - that are necessary to be successful in college and beyond. With almost 200 rigorous projects in the Summit Learning curriculum,
the final products that students complete are diverse, ranging from simulating historic debates to suggesting changes to school policies to build community.
Students build toward the final product by completing a series of checkpoints with their peers, and receiving feedback from their teacher at each checkpoint. This immersive learning style forces students to not simply learn for a test, but instead, actually develop
mastery over the subject matter
.
Projects are designed to encourage collaboration. Teachers encourage students to work with their peers on rigorous tasks; they group students flexibly so they can offer workshops for students struggling with specific skills, content and/or habits.
Getting Involved
You don't need to be an expert on the content knowledge covered in your child's projects in order to support them well. The best way you can support your child is to help them reflect, explain their work, and become a better self-directed learner.
You and your students will have access to every project via the
Platform
.
In the Platform, you can see in real-time what project your student is working on, cognitive skills they're building, and learn more about their progress and feedback they've received from their teacher.
FAQs
Q: What is the role of a teacher in the classroom?
A:
Teachers are at the heart of every classroom. They use their expertise to help students understand how what they've learned, and how it applies to the world around them. They focus on helping students develop lifelong cognitive skills such as critical thinking, and they ensure that students are learning to collaborate and build interpersonal habits.
