DESCRIPTION PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL BUILDING
Douglas County West Community Middle School establishes academic, social, emotional, and activity goals for each student to help him/her achieve success during their middle level education. This is accomplished through Pride, an adviser-advisee program, in which each student is assigned adult mentors throughout their three years at the middle school. DC West's 6th grades are more self-contained classrooms allowing developmental cross-curricular opportunities. DC West's 6th, 7th, and 8th grades do incorporate a daily 8 period structure. Interdisciplinary team teachers meet daily to collaborate with one another to develop plans to address individual needs. This allows for more consistency in classroom procedures, data analysis opportunities, coordinated efforts in solving student issues, and the opportunity to build strong community relationships among students, parents, and administrators.
