My day at school
Hi!
My name is Steve and I’m 13 years old. I go to “junior high”, also known as
middle school here. My school, Twelve Corners Middle School or TCMS, is
located in the town of Brighton, a suburb of Rochester, New York. It has
approximately 900 students.
I’m in the 7th grade. I learn English, Math, Science, Social Studies (American
History), Spanish, Health, Orchestra, and Technology. I’m good at Social Studies
but, to be honest, I’m not so great at Technology. I also enjoy Science, but I’m
not keen on Spanish. School starts at about 7:45 and ends at 2:06 for people
who don’t stay after school. We just have five minute breaks between each class.
The kids here are 10–14 years old and we have 6th grade, 7th grade, and 8th
grade. We attend school five days a week, from Monday to Friday, but we have
Saturday and Sunday off. I go to school on the bus and it’s just a few miles away
from my house. We have lunch at our school and I like lunches there.
In my school, we don’t wear uniforms. We just wear anything that we choose
to wear. However, for sports, we get team uniforms for the town of Brighton,
where I live. We don’t really have “Ceremonies”, but we have assemblies at
times.
We have clubs after school, but they are just for different interests and not for
helping students with their homework. However, if you need help, you can just
stay after school with a teacher.
