Twelve Corners Middle School is located in Rochester, New York in the suburb of Brighton. Our school has approximately 880 students in grades 6 through 8 and we are the only middle school in the district. We have high expectations academically for students and an able student population with supportive parents and community. About 10% of our students are foreign born with an additional minority population coming from the City of Rochester through our participation in the Urban-Suburban program.
We service all of the needs of adolescents including the social, emotional, physical and academic needs of our students. Our school is divided into three teaching teams at each grade level to make a fairly big school feel smaller for the students and to give the teachers common planning time. Many of our teachers and teams have websites. Our hope is that parents will be able to monitor what is going on in their child's classes by searching for information on our website and contacting staff through the e-mail staff directory. We use an 80 minute block format for most classes and they meet every other day. We also use a six-day cycle, consistent with the rest of our district's schools. If you would like to know more about our schedule, there are sample schedules for each grade level posted on this website.
Every year all 6th graders participate in our Outdoor Education Program. The three 6th grade teams have a two day experience at the Rush Rotary Sunshine Camp. Students experienced fishing, archery, pond life, and outdoor cooking activities as well as team building games with their classmates. Our 7th graders visit Washington Trip near the last week in March. Our 8th graders may chose to participate in one of the three foreign language trips to Quebec, NYC, or Stowe, Vermont. You can use our website calendar to track these and other events throughout the year.
Please feel free to contact me with questions or input about any issue that impacts students at TCMS.
