INTRODUCTION
This guide provides information about Hampton City Schools’ academic programs and educational services designed for the middle school level. Information provided will help students and parents understand
the educational requirements and elective opportunities available.
The middle school program for students in grade six, seven, and eight provides a gradual transition from
the individual elementary classroom structure to the independent course, departmentalized structure of
the secondary level. All students take English/Language Arts, math, social studies, science, health and
physical education, and electives.
In addition to our traditional programs, we also offer a variety of choice program options. Detailed information can be found on page 3.
The curriculum features academic programs for students of all levels of ability. Interdisciplinary approaches, team teaching, flexible time blocking, and special programs are unique features in the middle school design. Exploratory elective courses are offered at all grade levels. Each school designs their programs based
on their curriculum offerings. Some electives are offered for a semester on a rotating basis and others may
be offered as a yearlong course.
There are also opportunities to take courses for high school credit. In accordance with the Standards of
Accreditation parents of middle school students taking high school courses may request that grades be
expunged from their child’s academic history. The student will not earn high school credit for the course
and this course will not count towards the student’s grade point average (GPA). The decision to count a
student’s grade for high school courses taken in middle school must be finalized at the end of each school
year. Once a student leaves middle school all changes are final. To be consistent with high school procedures, grades will be reported by semester and both semester grades will count towards the student’s GPA.
Individual semester grades cannot be expunged. Teachers of high school credit courses will provide consent forms at the end of each school year. Parents wishing to discuss which option is best for their student
should contact the school counselor.
Each student is assigned a school counselor who works with students, teachers, and parents during the
middle school years to provide personal, social, academic and career planning programs and services to
ensure maximum success for each student.
The school counselor, parent and student will develop an Academic and Career Plan that will address the
interests and aptitudes of the student. This plan will serve as a guide for yearly conferences and decisions
to be made throughout middle and high school. A worksheet is available on page 21 to assist with these
plans.
Parent conferences are welcomed and encouraged throughout the school year. To make an appointment
for a conference with the team, individual teacher or counselor, please contact the School Counseling Department secretary in each school.

Practical Tips for Middle School Success
for Parents of Middle School Students
The middle school years are a notoriously tumultuous time for parents and kids alike. Below are
some tips for parents to help their child avoid the common pitfalls of middle school.
ORGANIZATION
To help kids take on the added responsibilities of the middle school years, encourage them to:
• Use a student agenda notebook. Encourage them to review their assignments before leaving
school to make sure they bring home the appropriate books and material.
• Use color-coded folders or binders to keep track of the supplies and paperwork for each
subject.
• Maintain school supplies at home.
• Consider a weekly family planning meeting.
STUDY SKILLS
To do well, students should:
• Spread project and test preparation over several days instead of the night before a due date.
• Establish a regular time and place to do daily homework.
• When in doubt, ask their teachers to explain assignments.
FINDING THE BALANCE BETWEEN FUN AND WORK
Choosing to make schoolwork a priority over socializing with friends is one of the biggest challenges facing middle schoolers. To help kids put schoolwork first:
• Institute a work first/play later policy.
• Encourage friendships with kids who take school seriously.
AVOID THE “WHY WORK HARD?” TRAP
During the middle years, many kids try to take the easy way out - they would rather take a lesser
grade than put in the extra time and energy needed to do really well. To avoid this trap:
• Show them the connection between their interests and what they are learning now.
• Offer praise for a job well done.
• Celebrate their success.
• Challenge them to take on the more difficult course work.

CAREER ACADEMIES
Career Academies were identified as component of the COMPASS School Reform plan. Currently listed under Goal One: Maximize Every
Child’s Learning in the Hampton City Schools 2015 Strategic Plan, Career Academies are based on the National Career Academies Coalition National Standards of Practice for career academies. These were developed by an informal consortium of national career academy
organizations and draw from over 40 years of research and best practices. The ten standards are key elements for successful, sustained
implementation of academies. Research shows that academies make a positive difference in graduation and dropout rates, guiding career choices for young people, and in academic achievement. Additionally, the term “career academy” is defined as a smaller learning
community and provides an immersive academic experience with a career focus.
Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of special programs designed to support and enhance their high school experience. All students who complete the requirements of their academy program will receive a diploma seal upon graduation.
Each high school in Hampton houses a career academy with each having three or more plans of study. These plans help students identify
the academic and technical skills necessary to be successful and to be college and career ready. These include:

systems. Students will continue to explore the advanced topics of object oriented programming in the Java
programming language. Prerequisite: Algebra II /Trig and Scientific Programming I.
College Modern Pre-calculus (3162): (1 weighted high school math credit) This course is an intensive,
rigorous approach to mathematics designed to prepare students for college calculus. First semester, students will focus on the algebraic and geometric properties of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, and engage in discussions about how these models are represented in
the real world. Second semester, students will learn the analytic properties of trigonometric functions and
geometric conics, as well as learning the properties of polar coordinates, vectors, matrices, parametrics,
and sequences and series. The course concludes with an introduction to calculus.
31
College Calculus (3177): (1 weighted high school math credit) .This course covers 2 semesters of university-level calculus for scientists and engineers, emphasizing understanding and application. The first
semester covers limits and continuity of functions, techniques and applications of differentiation, and
introduces integration. The second semester covers applications and advanced techniques of integration,
differential equations, sequences and series, and analytical geometry. Upon completion of this course, student will understand both the geometric and rate of change analyses of differential and integral calculus.
Students will apply their understanding of calculus to modeling real-world situations mathematically and
be able to solve those mathematical models. Successful completion of this course will prepare students to
enroll in multivariable calculus / linear algebra.
Statistical Research Methods (3190): (1 weighted high school math credit) This course is a comprehensive conceptual and practical presentation of probability, descriptive/inferential statistics, and the key
ideas underlying statistical and quantitative reasoning. Statistical methods of organizing, summarizing,
and displaying data combined with statistical testing are used to solve problems from a myriad of areas
such as business, engineering, biology, and medicine. Advantages and limitations of statistical methods
are developed. Graphing calculators and Minitab statistical software are extensively utilized. The emphasis
is on the interpretation of the statistical results rather than the mere computation. Topics include random
variables, sampling, distribution families, binomial and Poisson probabilities, conditional probability,
estimations, data analysis, contingency tables, frequentist and Bayesian perspectives, simple and multiple
regression analysis including linear, power, and exponential fit, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing for
means and proportions, Chi-square, ANOVA, and several non-parametric testing, and design of experiments. GSST Program of Studies 2016-20176Y Revised 10.10.2015
Multivariable Calculus/Linear Algebra (3178/3179): (1 weighted high school math credit) In multivariable calculus, students extend their study of calculus from the plane into 3-dimensional space and beyond.
After an initial examination of geometry and algebra of 3-space, students will use differential and integral
calculus to study the nature of curves and surfaces in 3-space, Topics include linear approximations of
curves and surfaces in 3-space, optimization of functions in several variables, and use of integral calculus
to study area, volume, and other applications. The semester concludes with an examination of the calculus
of vector fields. In linear algebra, students use matrix theory to solve systems of linear equations and apply
knowledge of the determinant to describe the nature of those solutions. The algebra and applications of
linear transformations will be studied in both real and general vector spaces. Students will calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors of linear transformations and use these to diagonalize linear systems. Applications
include best fit functions and solutions of systems of 1st order, linear differential equations. Prerequisite
GSST College Calculus or completion of AP Calculus BC with a score of 5 on the exam, or a score of 4 and
permission of the instructor.
Differential Equations and Math Methods in Physics (02123): (1 weighted high school math credit) The
first semester the emphasis will be on Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). Partial Differential Equations (PDE) at the end of the first semester and conclude the second semester by looking at modeling the
four fundamental forces and other applied topics. The construction of mathematical models to address
real-world problems has been one of the most important aspects of each of the branches of science. It is
often the case that these mathematical models are formulated in terms of equations involving functions
as well as their derivatives. Such equations are called differential equations. These differential equations
are the language in which the laws of nature can be expressed. Understanding the properties of solutions
of differential equations is fundamental too much of contemporary science and engineering. If only one
independent variable is involved, often time, the equations are called ordinary differential equations. The
course will demonstrate the usefulness of ordinary differential equations for modeling physical and other
32
phenomena. Complementary mathematical approaches for their solution will be presented, including analytical methods, graphical analysis and numerical techniques. This course also covers the classical partial
differential equations of applied mathematics, physics, and engineering: diffusion, Laplace/Poisson, and
wave equations. It also includes methods and tools for solving these PDEs, such as separation of variables,
Fourier, Laplace, Legendre, Bessel series and transforms, eigenvalue problems, and Green’s functions.
Emphasis during the second semester will be placed on building and modeling the fundamental forces of
nature. Prerequisite for Differential Equations is successful completion of Multivariable Calculus/Linear
Algebra and permission of the instructor.
Research Methodology & Ethics (4610): (1 weighted high school science credit). Students will study
contemporary issues in scientific research while conducting independent research projects outside of class.
Students are encouraged to select projects consistent with their strand or career goals. Course topics include research design strategies, data analysis and representation (with and without computer-assistance),
norms of conduct for ethical research behavior, and the historical basis for current research regulations,
among others. All students must conduct a review of the primary literature to support their research
design assumptions, prepare and present a plan of their proposed research for institutional review and
approval, conduct their studies and report their findings via formal technical paper as well as oral presentation. All students present posters in our junior science symposium, judged by professionals in various
fields. All students complete application materials for the Tidewater Science and Engineering Fair, and
participation in this, and other fairs, is highly encouraged. This course will serve as a preparatory course
for the Honor Research and Mentorship Program.
Environmental Science: Research Applications / Mentorship (4271 / 4612): (2 weighted high school
science credits). In the fall semester, students integrate aspects of biology, chemistry, earth science, and
physics in the study of the environment. Exploration of relationships between organisms and their biotic
and abiotic environment at multiple levels of biological system hierarchy serves as the foundation for
this course. Laboratory and fieldwork are integral components of the course. Students undertake field
sampling for water quality and biotic components. While analyzing their own data, students will become
familiar with concepts such as spatial and temporal variation in natural systems, species diversity, and
community similarity indices. Critical thinking, risk analysis, and cost-benefit analysis will be emphasized
as students identify and analyze alternative solutions to complex environmental problems. Current or
on-going environmental issues and/or case histories will be emphasized. Spring semester will emphasize
ecological principals from physiological ecology to ecosystem ecology. Mentorship involves students in
concentrated research or project development in firms and laboratories throughout the Tidewater area.
Students are supervised by mentors who are scientists, engineers, physicians and other professionals. Students plan, implement, document and present research or projects chosen in consultation with their mentors. Students refine their research and presentation techniques, problem-solving, critical thinking and
leadership skills. Students gain proficiency with Minitab statistical software for presentation and analysis
of data. This course provides students with an opportunity to integrate theory, knowledge and application
through a research experience.
