Middle School Directed Study

September 8, 2025

Spectrum Families,

As your child begins this year, I am excited to offer again a place to get organized, to study, and/or to complete assigned practices after school: Spectrum’s Directed Study Program. This program will run from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. on Mondays, starting on September 15 and ending on May 11. It is a NO-COST program designed for students who are interested in additional structured time to work either individually or collaboratively. All sixth through eighth grade students are invited to attend, but all are required to sign up for the desired days of attendance. The student cannot attend unless there has been a sign-up.

Support

Students will receive support from Ms. Batts (6th grade, room 203) and Mr. Patterson (7th & 8th grades, room 108). They need to report right after school ends unless otherwise noted during Daily Announcements.

Expectations

  • Students must be picked up right at 4:00 p.m.;
  • Students are expected to remain in the classroom for the entire 90 minutes with the exception of planned breaks provided by the supervisor. They may be permitted leave early with written parental permission;
  • Students who have had a behavioral incident must attend detention instead of Directed Study; 
  • Students who have repeated behavior problems will not be eligible to attend the Directed Study sessions;

  • and All school rules apply to the Directed Study Program.

Registration

Registration is essential for planning purposes and is required with no exceptions. All registration sessions are available online via the form below. Please note - If registration is not received by Friday a.m. prior to the next week’s session, students should not attend and need to leave school at the end of the school day. Last minute drop-ins are not allowed.

We are pleased to offer this option to help our learning community achieve its high levels of success. If you have any questions or are in need of additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you,

Greg Heinecke
Principal
