Academic
Calendar
KIPP
TECH VALLEY Middle School will feature an extended school
year, in session for over 200 days. This number includes
Saturday sessions that are held at least twice each month.
In addition, summer school will be mandatory
for all students, and take place prior to the regular school
year.
Daily
Class Schedule
All
students, regardless of grade level, will start school at
7:30 a.m. and will remain until classes are dismissed at
5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Every Friday, students
will be dismissed at 4:00 pm to allow for staff development.
On select Saturdays throughout the school year, students

Saturday
Enrichment Classes
Students
will attend Saturday classes from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
During this time, students will participate in activities
that will contribute to their becoming well-rounded individuals,
such as swimming, martial arts, dance, art, step, soccer,
basketball, guitar and keyboard. 7th and 8th grade students
will use a portion of this time to continue practicing their
extracurricular activity and will have the option to stay
at school for an additional two hours in the afternoon for
SAT training. This early preparation should lead to higher
marks on the PSAT and SAT. Saturday sessions will also be
used as “catch up” time for those students who are struggling
academically.
Summer
Session
All
students at KIPP TECH VALLEY will attend school during the
summer. The summer school session will provide students,
parents, and teachers with a head start in preparing for
the upcoming academic year.
During
KIPP Tech Valley Middle School’s summer session, teachers,
students, and parents will become acquainted with the procedures
and expectations needed throughout the year. For incoming
5th graders, the summer session is a time when students are
introduced to and become acquainted with KIPP’s unique culture.
After assessing each student’s individual strengths and weaknesses,
teachers will emphasize the basics of English, math, science,
and social studies. The summer session is also a time when
the process of team building begins. Students will be introduced
to the concepts, challenges, strengths, and rewards of working
as a team.
