Connecting Coursework and PostSecondary Options
Course registration season is upon us! As the
school counselor, this means I am working
overtime to convince and cajole students
into better understanding how and why the
classes they are taking now, in high school
(or middle school, even!) matter to their
future. It’s not easy. None of us have a crystal
ball, and even for students who seem to have
a strong leaning towards a certain trajectory,
we really don’t know where our students
will land after high school. Given the shifting
and changing technological and information
driven economy, we focus on the following
areas for developing our students:




Critical thinking – willing to ask
tough questions, cite evidence, and
understand the many, complex
frameworks at play
Strong work ethic
Curiosity – the interest and
motivation to ask why?
High reading and math skills

Reading & Math
Intervention Class
As State and National Standards for learning
increase to keep pace with the competition of the
global economy, Frederic 6-12 School is making
sure our students are prepared for the rigor of 9th
grade by asking students to spend additional
time during the school day to increase their
literacy and math skills. By utilizing data results
from the MAP tests, Ms. Sears and Ms. Juneski
develop small group curriculum to address the
gaps in learning for each student. We just
completed our Winter MAP testing and noticed
that many of our Middle School students
receiving this extra intervention during the
school day, increased their score considerably. At
Frederic 6-12, we understand that how a child
performs on a particular standardized test is not
the end-all-be-all. However, by utilizing data
points and looking at trends, our teachers can
focus their instruction to meet the unique needs
of our students, which is critical for good
teaching and learning to occur. Don’t hesitate to
ask staff if you have a question about your
student’s current levels or growth.
Research abounds regarding the importance
of reading to our children each day, especially
in the early years of their development prior
to Kindergarten. Many of us loose this quality
time with our elementary age children as
schedules demand more of our time,
technology out-competes books for our kids’
attention, and the stress of daily life gets in the
way of family rituals.
The Middle School Anti-Bullying club promotes #kindness
by collecting compliments and sharing the positive remarks
publicly.

Consider (re)establishing 20 minutes a day,
a few times a week, to simply read to your
adolescent. Many of our students complain
that they don’t like to read. As a parent, you
can set a great example for them, re-enforce
the value of reading, and strengthen your
connection with them by setting aside this

Paul Oman joined the Anti-Bullying initiative
at Frederic 6-12. Student leaders created
presentations to raise awareness about the
negative impact that bullying and mean
behavior can cause on others in our school
community. Through music, storytelling,
visual art, and videos, students shared their
pain and resilience in overcoming their own
experiences with bullying. Paul Oman
performed a live, visual painting throughout
the student presentation. Paul’s message
highlighted the importance of contribution.
He held up the idea that we all matter and that
our actions contribute to the Frederic
Community – for the better and for the worse.
His paintings, which emphasize the
strength of our positive connections with
one another, will be on public display at
the Frederic 6-12 School. Thank you to all
the following students who lead on this
project: Tessa, Teresa, Kathy, Kaitlyn,
Madison, Tysen, Gracie, Trent, Liz, Elisha,
Alexis, Nick, Zac, Shylie, Stacy, and Julia.
