Pine Lake Middle School is a public middle school in Sammamish, Washington, a suburb east of Seattle. A part of the Issaquah School District, it serves students in grades 6–8 and is a feeder school to Skyline High School. The school opened in 1974 on the Sammamish Plateau as Pine Lake Junior High School, a feeder school to Issaquah High School. When Skyline High School opened in 1997, Pine Lake sent its graduates to both Issaquah and Skyline, and for five years (2005–10) through the Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus. When the two high schools added freshmen to their campuses in the fall of 2010, PCFC was converted to Pacific Cascade Middle School, a feeder school for Issaquah High, and Pine Lake became a feeder to Skyline only (except in special circumstances). In 1999, Pine Lake was completely renovated. As of the 2012-13 school year, the school had an enrollment of 837 students and 36.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 23.12.〔(Pine Lake Middle School ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed May 13, 2015.〕 The school has an "exceedingly high participation in Junior National Honor Society", according to the Issaquah School District Web site.〔Issaquah school district Web site, accessed September 29, 2007〕 In 2005, almost half of all Pine Lake students (425 out of 940) qualified for the honor society.〔( "School Guide: Pine Lake Middle School" ), at ''The Seattle Times'' Web site, "Profile updated Tuesday, September 26, 2006", accessed September 29, 2007〕 The principal is Michelle Caponigro, and the assistant principal is Mike DeLetis.〔(Pine Lake Middle School ). Accessed September 24, 2007.〕 Pine Lake's mascot is Wally the Wolverine. ==Academics== As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had 940 students and 39.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 23.6.〔(Pine Lake Middle School ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed September 24, 2007.〕 In recent years, the school adopted new math and science curricula. In the “All School Write” program in the spring of 2005, all students "were directed by a carefully selected prompt to write an expository essay". Specially trained teams of teachers then evaluated the essays and compiled data on areas of strength and weakness.〔 For students needing more help with academics, the school offers reading classes for students not reading at grade level; study-skills classes for students with various organizational and academic problems; after-school homework help from teachers; an accelerated Reader program to increase reading comprehension; and "Safe-Net", a program that helps at-risk sixth graders.〔 The science department installed a weather station in March 2000. Current conditions are available online using WeatherBug and through the KING-5 TV weather network. Science students can also use WeatherBug's specialized software for a more in-depth study of weather. Technology is integrated in the curriculum, with students and staff using tools such as Inspiration, Microsoft Office, interactive whiteboards, projectors and document cameras. Computers with Internet access are available throughout the school. The school library contains a wide variety of reading materials personally selected for the students and provides access to a valuable collection of private research databases. Pine Lake offers a wide variety of after school activities, such as homework club, Earth Service Corps and Jazz Band. Pine Lake provides Impact, an after school club for Issaquah School district. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pine Lake Middle School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
