Sequoia Middle School is a middle school located in Newbury Park, California under the Conejo Valley Unified School District. It serves a student body of about 1100 in grades 6-8. It is located in Newbury Park just south of the US 101 on Borchard Road.
Classes offered at Sequoia Middle School include basic classes including Math, Social Studies, English, and Science. There is also Gym, Exploratory Block, Choir, Three levels of Band, High-School Level Spanish I, Journalism, ASB (Associated Student Body), and cross-age tutoring. Sequoia Middle School is on a block schedule, unlike most other middle schools. The block Schedule is where every other day has three classes instead of one day having all the classes. For an example, if Monday would have classes 1,2, and 3, and Tuesday would have classes 4,5, and 6. This pattern alternates and Monday is not always a 1,2,3 day. This causes classes to be longer in a single day, and gives students an extra day to complete their homework.
The School is composed by seven main buildings or complexes, each is represented by a letter from A-G. The A,B,and G buildings are a mix of seventh and eight grade classrooms. The C building is for sixth graders. The D building is the Auditorium, Cafeteria, and Office building. The E building is a mixture of miscellaneous rooms, such as the science lab, and the band room, while the F Complex is the Physical Education Complex.
Sequoia Middle School is home to the Royal Blue Band led by Karla Hoey. The band mostly does local performances, including the annual Conejo Valley Days parade.
Every year, the school participates in many events including a 5K, the Ventura County Science Fair, both the geography bee and the spelling bee, We the People, Magic Music Days, Annual Musicals, Coastal Cleanup Day, Civil War re-enactments, etc.
The school services all of Newbury Park except the Dos Vientos Ranch. Most students who graduate from Sequoia Middle School attend Newbury Park High School.
