Exploratory courses are taught 18 weeks. Within
each sixth, seventh and eighth grade level, students are
divided into academies. An academy consists of the
four core subject teachers. Students change
classes within their academy. Students attend
their two
exploratory courses every Monday and then
every other day according to the A-Day/B-Day schedule.
Homework Hotline and Blackboard are two of the many communication tools teachers use to keep parents informed. Interim reports are issued every three weeks and report cards are issued every nine weeks. Kelly Mill is enriched with technology. Classrooms are equipped with computers, an interactive whiteboard and access to wireless laptops, digital cameras, classroom response systems and graphing calculators. Each academy has a DotCom classroom, which allows one-to-one computing for each student and the use of web and network applications.
