| Gruening
Middle School is a learning community of approximately 600 students
located in Eagle River. Gruening has a successful comprehensive
academic program, supported through high expectations and exceptional
support from parents and the community. Gruening Middle School
uses a team-based approach for instruction, engages parents in
student-led conferences, and works to provide timely information to
parents. The team approach provides a comfortable environment for students new to middle school, and enables teachers to collaborate with each other to create interdisciplinary lessons or projects. Options for gifted and remedial instruction are offered in language arts, science, reading, and mathematics. Elective opportunities are provided in applied technology, art, band, orchestra, choir, drama, business education, world languages, as well as a number of other options. Gruening has a well-rounded special education program that includes intensive needs, collaboration, and behavioral support. The use of technology is integral to our education program. Gruening promotes positive student behavior throughout the school through the Aggressors, Victims, and Bystanders program, community-building activities, and a Prevention/Intervention Program. |
