Goals for 7th Grade
In Access, 7th Graders study empathy

Community Service
All MS students are required to complete eight hours of community service per school year. Students can count any service hours they completed during summer break towards the upcoming school year (example: any hours completed during summer 2023 will count towards their total for the 2023-2024 school year.) Please refer to the Community Service webpage for additional information. Students can submit hours via our online form for completed service hours.

MAKE SURE THE MS STUDENT is reporting the hours, not a parent...the form is not accessible outside the PRA domain, so students must be either using their school Chromebook or logged into their Google account to access and submit the form.

PRA often has volunteer hours available for our MS students that can be found on the Volunteering at PRA page. Just scroll down and click on the “Current Volunteer Opportunities” button. Look for sign-up slots that indicate “Middle School."

You'll find all of the Middle School and K12 news and activities in Miner Mail and the Events calendar.

GLC for Class of 2030

Email: praclassof2030glc@gmail.com

I am supporting the class of 2030 as the Grade Level Coordinator. My husband and I have a son in this class of 2030, as well as a daughter in the class of 2031. We have been a PRA family since our son was in Kindergarten, and we also have two nephews at PRA in elementary. And my Mom, a retired middle school teacher, is often on campus, as a substitute teacher across multiple grades. We love PRA and the community.
