About Stafford Middle PDF Print E-mail

H.D. Stafford Middle School is located in Langley City and is part of School District #35 (Langley).  Our School came into existence in September of 2008 as the first "stand alone" Middle School in Langley and we are fortunate to have a Middle School with all the facilities of a Secondary School.  Our school takes advantage of these facilities by providing all of our students with programming options that include Woodworking, Metalwork, Electronics, Cooking, Sewing, Fine Art and Physical Activity classes which we call "Explorations".  In addition to our Academic program, H.D.S.M.S. also features an optional Integrated Fine Arts program for students in grades 6 & 7 and Intensive Fine Arts for Grade 8's.  At Stafford Middle we believe that young adolescents need to explore and have opportunities to be successful in a wide array of areas in addition to their academic pursuits, to this end we have a huge variety of athletic teams, clubs and fine arts opportunities for all of our students.

Soccer Update

The Stafford Girl's Soccer Team had a very strong finish in their play-off game, coming up just a little short, losing 3-2 in an overtime shootout to Brookswood.

Rugby Update

The Play-off season is upon us.  Following a very dominant win against Tweedsmuir Secondary, the Skyhawks take on the Betty Gilbert "Raptors".  The regular season game was very close (a 15-12 Stafford win) so this 2nd round play-off game should be great!  Check out the action on Wednesday, May 16th @ 3:15pm on the Stafford field.   GO SKYHAWKS!! 

Spring's Arrival

With the arrival of better and warmer weather it is itime to remind students of our rather simple dress code.  Essentially; keeping in mind that school is a place of business,  clothing needs to be modest not revealing, for example; no under garments showing, shoulder straps a minimum of 2 inches wide and no really short shorts.  Please keep in mind that what is great to wear to the mall or the beach may not be appropriate in a middle school setting.  Students who are not dressed appropriately will be asked to either call home for alterrnate clothing or be given a t-shirt to wear for the day.

Cafeteria Update

Our new catering service is in operation and offering healthier and better value choices to our students.   A menu is posted at the bottom of this column.
