It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Island Trees Memorial Middle School website.  We hope you will find these pages to be a great resource and an informative tool.  Please check the website regularly as we will be updating information about building-wide programs, announcements, bulletins, and activities.

Research has proven that the middle-level years are some of the most challenging times in a person’s life.  The staff at Island Trees Memorial Middle School understands the importance of balancing a challenging academic program with addressing the emotional and self-esteem needs of the students.  As a middle-school program, we are extremely committed to implementing programs that afford children the opportunity to grow academically, socially, emotionally, behaviorally, morally, and ethically.

As a middle school, we recognize that each child brings their own strengths, talents, capacities, and callings to Island Trees Memorial every day.  The opportunities to display these characteristics are important in the development of the whole-child.  With over thirty clubs and after-school activities, as well as a full interscholastic sports program for students in grades 7 and 8, pupils are afforded opportunities to excel outside the classroom setting.

As we begin the 2010-2011 year, we are excited at the possibilities for new beginnings and to continue the traditions that have long connected the community of Island Trees with the middle school.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to speak with me at 520-2157 or email me at rbloom@islandtrees.org.  I look forward to working with all of you this year as we strive to continue to flourish as an exemplary middle school program. 

Sincerely,
