School History
In 1981, Page Middle opened its doors for the first time, donning a name steeped in local Williamson County school history.   Fred J. Page, a former Superintendent of Schools, began his career in 1899 and served in that position for forty-two years.  The Page Middle community has seen extensive growth in population over the past several years.  Page Middle’s enrollment figures correspondingly rose with the influx of new county residents.

Page Middle is located in the southeast corner of Williamson County, but draws students from over 30% of the geographic area of the county. Our enrollment reflects stable, nurturing homes with working parents in professional and blue collar occupations. Our student body includes a variety of ethnic backgrounds including students from several foreign countries. This diversity makes Page Middle unique to other middle schools in Williamson County.

Guidance
Our counselors address the needs of our students through consultation with students, teachers, parents, administrators, and psychologists. The school counselors plan activities to help students learn to accept responsibility, make employment decisions, and develop good study skills.  Small groups are formed throughout the year to assist in transition of new students, as well as developing strategies for students dealing with grief, anger, divorce, low self-esteem, and other issues.

Library Media Center 
The library staff has developed tools and materials to benefit our students and directly support the Page Middle reading goals. Through collaboration with both students and teachers, our librarian has successfully created a new awareness of the numerous media tools available.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parents will receive a progress report and newsletter every 4 ½  weeks. Teachers will schedule parent-teacher conferences each semester. Additional parent conferences may be scheduled any time during the year concerning academic progress and/or behavioral issues.

Parent Support Organization
Parent volunteers from the PTO provide numerous services for students and teachers, including constructing bulletin boards, laminating, providing library assistance, and making copies.  Additionally, they sponsor the school dances and provide chaperones for many extra curricular activities. 

Site Based Management
Daily operational decisions, long range goals, and planning for Page Middle are the combined efforts of the administration and staff.

Student Services
The student services department at Page Middle is designed to provide the least restrictive environment that promote academic success for each of our students.  A variety of services and staff are available for our students with special needs, including certified special education teachers, a school psychologist, an occupational therapist, a speech therapist, and an English as a Second Language instructor.  Speech and language services offer comprehensive testing, direct consultation, determination of interventions, and therapy for all types of communication disorders.  Additionally, adaptive devices to facilitate learning are provided when deemed appropriate.   

Students who are identified as gifted work under the oversight of the gifted consultant. Instruction and enrichment activities are provided to enhance the curriculum and challenge students both individually and in small groups.    

STARS
Our STARS counselor works in harmony with the guidance office to facilitate small group sessions. They sponsor several events and assemblies during the year to increase awareness of drug and alcohol related issues, and to promote healthy and safe alternatives for our students.
