Leveled Classes
TMS resource classes (or "Reading") are available during homeroom, in place of music, or in place of a language. Guidance and teachers help to make the decision to move a student to resource along with the student's parents. Math is leveled throughout all three grades, and classes available are Math (sixth grade), Pre-Algebra, and Algebra. Most math teachers teach two levels to one grade level- sometimes referred to as 6-1, 6-2, 7-1, 7-2, and on. Certain advanced eighth grade students take the bus to Ludlowe Middle School during homeroom and first period, to be taught Geometry (high school course) along with advanced students from RLMS ( Roger Ludlowe Middle School ) Starting in seventh grade there have been options of "Language Arts Workshop" and "Extended Language Arts Workshop". (Classes were the same length, the content was extended. However, with the 2009-2010 school year seventh grade has phased back into writing and reading "workshops", and eighth grade will follow in the 2010-2011 school year.

Famous quotes containing the words leveled and/or classes:
“We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn’t just ours—it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can’t beat it.”
—Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
