Welcome to Southridge Middle School, where we are dedicated to developing our students’ greatest abilities!

 

For the past twenty years, Southridge Middle School has proudly served the surrounding community.  Providing education and support to our students and their families is a privilege and a responsibility that we take seriously.  At Southridge, we are committed to ensuring success for all students through meaningful learning in a welcoming, safe and nurturing environment.  We understand that middle school is a critical time for our students and we strive to meet their academic, social and emotional needs with respect, courtesy, and concern.  We work with our students to help them establish strong, positive connections to school, so that they look forward to coming each day.  Our approach to working with students is perhaps best reflected in a phrase that we use often when talking with families: “Your children are our children!”

Southridge Middle School has a talented, dedicated staff of professional educators who are personally committed to meeting the needs of all students.  We strive to be leaders in the field of middle school education and to provide instruction and programs that are based on leading educational research, and are responsive to the needs of our students and families.  Through a clear mission statement, teamwork and a commitment to continuous improvement, our staff creates an environment that establishes and supports high levels of learning and success for every student.
 
As you browse our website you will see the many ways in which we work to develop the abilities and talents of our students, from rigorous academic programs to a variety of social, recreational and extracurricular activities. We welcome the opportunity to discuss our efforts in support of student success and we look forward to sharing with you the work that we are doing on behalf of students and families.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us – my door is always open.

 

I extend to all of you a sincere wish for a successful and enjoyable school year!
