Drake Middle School

Dear Drake Parents & Students,

School is starting in just a few weeks, and we look forward to meeting all of you and having a terrific year ahead! As you prepare for the year, we wanted to share a few important reminders that will help in the transition. First, all Drake students will have a counselor who is assigned by each student's last name: Bonnie Legg (A -K) and Amanda Hodson (L - Z). 

Student Schedules

• Schedules will be shared on August 5th at 8:00 a.m prior to Open House.
• Schedules will ONLY be changed if there is a mistake in placement or a missing class. All students have 4 core and 2 elective/explore classes. 
• There will be no team changes, teacher change requests or elective/explore changes. Students may not change their lunch/recess time. 
• All efforts have been made to keep students with their team of teachers; however, due to the uniqueness of some schedules (ie: honors, band/orchestra, choir) there may be cross-teaming.
• New this year! 6th graders will be able to take Tech Ed 7!

Honors Classes/Testing

• Those students who missed the Spring Math Placement testing and would like to be considered for honors Math, testing will be on August 5th 9:00am and August 6th 12:00pm. Please contact your student's counselor to RSVP.
• Students were placed into honors classes based on a body of evidence (test scores, grades and teacher recommendations). If there is a placement error, please contact your student's counselor.
• Students in honors classes are expected to maintain a B average throughout the trimester.
