Rogers-Herr Middle School

Four Core Classes

English Language Arts

The Language Arts curriculum teaches literacy (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) through activities that integrate many types of literature. The activities are differentiated to challenge each student at his or her own level.

Students who are identified as English Language Learners (ELLs) or Limited English Proficient (LEP) are served via Sheltered Language Arts classes, a Discovery class, and co-teaching in 8th grade Science.

About Our School Day

The school day at RHMS consists of:

• four core classes (Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies)
• two elective classes (including a semester of Healthful Living taken each year)
• and Discovery, a seventh period for enrichment and remediation.

Each grade level is divided into two academic teams. The teams are divided in turn among four core classrooms. Each student rotates through those four core classes every day. The schedule of core classes and electives varies by grade.
