Portsmouth Middle School Grade 7 Student Experience

The 6th to 7th grade Transition Process
Grade 7 is considered the time that students have reached middle school/junior high age at Portsmouth Middle School. This is their first year on the middle school/junior high side of the school. Students transition to four specialized content area teachers on a team. (where there were three in 6th grade). Each teacher specializes in ELA, math, science, and social studies.
Growth Mindset
We encourage you to focus on your child’s growth, not just the grades. Learning is a journey, and each child develops at their own pace. Praise their efforts and help them set goals for the next grading period.
