Summary: The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our districtwide course catalog. When a course is discovered to be outdated or lack sufficient information, then a request is sent to the teacher(s) to update the course. At this time we are submitting the revised Middle School Yearbook course.

The middle school yearbook elective course allows students the opportunity to expand their academic, technological, and social skills while displaying and promoting school pride. The yearbook course also allows students to work collaboratively to record the many events throughout the year.

The yearbook club will introduce the many concepts that are involved in the creation and production of a yearbook. Students will address many of the Common Core standards through research, use of technology, writing, and editing. Students will also focus on digital citizenship, photography, marketing, sales, designing, and civic responsibility.

The revised Middle School Yearbook course has been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
