Rombout Middle School is located at 84 Matteawan Road Beacon, NY. This school is part of the Beacon City School District and the Board of Education is the official policy-making body for this school. The school attends to the educational needs for grades 6 through 8 in Dutchess County and educates through quality programs and support services which promote the intellectual, physical and cultural well-being. This public school is committed to the success of each child in a safe, supportive, learning environment.
Students will be working on activities which require them to use their thinking and communication skills to complete the task. Quality teacher questioning at various levels asks students about their knowledge, understanding and met cognition.
Teachers have an organized plan for focusing on and providing students with feedback about productivity; e.g., working well with others, how to follow directions and meet deadlines, knowing where/how to go for help, how to develop a plan to complete major projects.
Teachers communicate regularly with parents about expectations for quality student work, providing examples of rubrics and assignments, and communicating the grading system will include returning work to the student if it is not up to quality standard. The student will then be expected to analyze that work, with teacher help if needed, and revise it to higher quality.
