| | | | Two new middle schools are planned in the next five years to serve students in the Martinez/Evans area. At the middle school level, each grade level is divided into teams or pods, of approximately seventy five to one hundred twenty five students working with a specific interdisciplinary team of teachers. The term “interdisciplinary” means that teachers work and plan together to present subject matter in such a way that students begin to see and understand relationships among the disciplines of math, science, social studies, and communication skills. Teachers in each interdisciplinary team have the same planning period each day so they can meet frequently to discuss the progress of students and to plan the best education for those students. |

| In addition to the core subject areas, the middle school program addresses an exploratory program. This program provides brief (nine to eighteen weeks) but meaningful exposure to subject areas that students will eventually have options to take in high school for much longer periods of time. Some of these options are: technology lab, business, family and consumer science, band, general music, chorus, and visual arts. |
