Welcome to Walter R. Sundling Junior High School, where we strive to create a supportive learning community for approximately 750 seventh and eighth grade students.
One of the key components of our school environment is that we act as “Partners in Learning.” We believe that producing world-class learners requires sincere dedication on the part of our teachers, support staff, parents, community members, and not least, the students themselves.
The diversified curriculum at Sundling, which is carefully aligned with state standards, includes the effective use of technology. This integration of technology into learning practices reinforces what it means to be an active member of a learning community that values utilizing technology to develop the best possible product. Teachers continue to be committed to refining the process by which students learn and to maintaining high expectations for the products they create. At Walter R. Sundling, we teach not only content—the relevant factual information—but also process, so students learn how to apply their newfound knowledge. We support our basic academic program with an enrichment program, which provides students with exposure to courses based on their particular interests. Options include courses in fine arts, practical arts, technology, and foreign languages.
In order to provide a learning environment that is inviting to students, we balance our academic focus by providing a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. These include more than a dozen special interest clubs, athletics, music, student council, and much more.
Walter R. Sundling welcomes parent involvement. Our PTA provides fruitful support to our students and staff. As a parent, please consider becoming a critical part of your junior high student’s education by joining the PTA. This organization has truly become our “Partner in Learning.”
By fostering a school atmosphere where students are encouraged to honor themselves, respect others, and value their community and environment, we hope to cultivate self-motivated, lifelong learners.
Sincerely,
Yvette Davidson
