Standley Choir Club Meets 1st lunch during Academic Prep Tim McLellan, Advisor tmclellan@sandi.net

Our AVID Club is a club that is open to all Standley Middle Schools. We meet during first academic prep for 30 minutes. There are many positive purposes to our club. One important purpose is to serve our community in and around Standley Middle School. AVID Club works effortlessly through our philanthropic efforts, while promoting the desire to improve human welfare. Our club also has been created to help support our students academically and socially through our positive community building activities and with our creative efforts to raise money for our AVID Club and program. Students have the opportunity to experience educational and club related field trips throughout the year to promote self confidence, build a sense of community, and learn how to organize and govern themselves by creating and maintaining a functioning student body.

Science Olympiad at Standley Middle School is run through a specialty academic prep (i.e. advisory). We usually have 2 teams, 30 students, represent our school each year. Parents volunteer to help coach events. Students dedicate their time to prepare for their events during academic prep, after school, and on the weekends. Standley’s students enjoy learning about chosen STEAM related topics, at a very in-depth level, outside of the everyday classroom setting.
