Students in 6th and 8th grade Journalism have been working hard over the last few months to create the first issue of a class newspaper. They practiced observing, taking notes, conducting interviews, and researched how journalists on their chosen "beat" write news stories. Finally, they drafted their stories, and spent time revising and editing to make them as professional as possible. Check them out online here!

  Tompkins Square
Middle School serves a diverse community of 380 students in grades six
through eight in NYC's lower east side. TSMS is a community with high
learning standards dedicated to fostering ethical, caring,
self-reflecting and critical thinkers.
Founded in 2001 by a
grassroots coalition of neighborhood parents and local educators, TSMS
has grown into an award-winning NYC public school. Most recently, TSMS
was named a Rising Star Middle School in the annual Blackboard Awards.
TSMS is at its core a self-reflective community of students, parents,
and educators. What sets Tompkins Square Middle School
apart? The diversity of its student body. The intelligence,
warmth, and commitment of its staff. The interdisciplinary,
hands-on, tech-savvy nature of its curriculum. The individualized
attention that challenges and supports students at their own
level. The community feel, strengthened by pervasive small-group
Advisory sessions. Plus, the field trips and project simulations
occurring throughout the year, culminating in an overnight trip for each
grade level. TSMS is a member of NYC's Community
School District One.
