Dear Parents and Students,
Happy Tuesday!
We have been working on student schedules and they are now available for viewing in the PowerSchool App. Remember, we are a small school and every student will not be able to get his/her first choice elective.
We have worked to honor all students course requests, but not all requests can be fulfilled due to our school size and current circumstances. Please note that every attempt will be made to accommodate schedule change requests, though every schedule change request may not be possible due to availability of electives or other factors. We are allowing students to take study hall as an elective this year. See below for study hall and AVID information.
The deadline for schedule change requests is Friday, September 4, 2020.
For elective class change requests, please note the following:
- 6th grade available electives: Art, PE, Dance, Band, Choir, Orchestra, Intro to Russian (Robotics is closed)
- 7th Grade available electives: Art, PE, Dance, Band, Choir, Orchestra, Russian I, A/V Production, PE, Robotics
- 8th Grade available electives: Art, PE, Dance, Band, Choir, Orchestra, Russian I or II, Spanish I, A/V Production, PE, Robotics
Our C.A.R.E. values mean more than ever now. We must choose to Collaborate, to have a positive Attitude, show Responsibility and put in the Effort. We choose to C.A.R.E.
Don't forget! Parent and Student Open House/Orientation will take place August 27th. Details will be sent tomorrow.
Thank you again for choosing Maxine Smith STEAM Academy.

-What you need to know about AVID and STUDY HALL
- All 6th graders take an AVID course.
- AVID is a class which focuses on study skills, organization, tutoring, character education, leadership, and transitioning to middle school. AVID students receive assignments and grades.
- Study Hall is a class that does not receive a grade, but attendance is mandatory daily. Students will have access to other students and an instructor during the entire 90 minute block. There are no assignments or grades given to students taking Study Hall.
- We will use Study Hall times for individual tutoring, intervention, and other social emotional support.
