Middle School Information

Each teacher has office hours twice a week. Students may use office hours for assistance from teachers in a specific class. Office hours also provide a great opportunity for students to have a quiet place to work, similar to a study hall. Students may use office hours to complete homework, study for exams, or read.  Work from any subject can be done during any teacher’s office hours. If your student would benefit from an opportunity for study hall before or after school, please have her/him take advantage of teacher office hours.

In late Fall, early Winter high schools from around the Salt Lake Valley visit McGIllis to provide Middle School students and parents with information regarding options for high school. 

The High School Information night is scheduled for Thursday, October 18, 2012 at 7:00 PM in the Library. Matt, Melanie, and Jocelyn will present on high school experiences in independent schools, parochial schools, and IB (International Baccalaureate) programs, followed by a question and answer session. Parents are invited and encouraged to attend.

Through the months of October through January, high schools from around the valley will present their school's program to McGillis students during the school day. Parents are invited to attend these sessions. The following schools have been scheduled. This list will be updated as we add other schools.
