Thank you to all of the parents, students, and teachers that made this first week amazing!
Everyone at Diamond Fork is ALL IN for learning!
From "DFMS: Everything you need to know - Middle School 101"
Pods - All students will be placed in a pod of core classes: math, science, and English. Pod time is either in a block of classes in the morning or afternoon. Each student in the same pod will have the same group of core teachers. Pods provide a transition from elementary school to the secondary school experience by giving the students a place of belonging. In addition, reteach and enrich will happen through the pod teachers.
E-Time (E for Enrichment or Extra Help) - Students have two E-Times a day, one is with pods, and one is a free E-Time similar to a recess break with choices for enrichment. For the E-time with pod teachers, teachers will determine if students need to stay with a teacher for extra help. Students released for enrichment, or those that have their free E-Time, can choose outside play (equipment can be checked out each day), drama improv, choir karaoke, movie room, the library for maker spaces ( a variety of STEM activities), or reading, computer labs, art, dance, band or orchestra practice rooms, game rooms, and more!
