Reeths Puffer Schools

Mr. Stephen E. Cousins

Superintendent

Over the past year, Reeths-Puffer has made some changes that will dramatically improve opportunities for our students. Pre-Algebra will now be offered to many of our 6th graders at Reeths-Puffer Intermediate. By taking Pre-Algebra in 6th grade, these students will be able to take Algebra in 7th grade and Geometry in 8th grade. By the time they reach high school, these students will be able to take advantage of all the Advanced Placement Mathematics courses in our sequence. It will also increase a student's ability to take dual enrolled classes at one of our local colleges.

Spanish is now offered at the middle school, allowing our students to meet the new graduation requirements more easily and accelerate through the curriculum to take Advanced Placement Spanish in high school.

Looking to the future, next year we will implement an accelerated sequence for science, allowing some students to take Biology in 8th grade. This will open the door for these students to maximize the advanced placement classes and dual enrollment opportunities at the high school in science. Reeths-Puffer students will be able to pick from a large offering of Advanced Placement classes: English Literature and English Composition, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics Statistics and Calculus, Spanish, History and Government. By passing the Advanced Placement Exam, these students can garner valuable college credit before they step foot onto a campus.
