Reminders & Homework information

Homework: 8th grade year
Homework assignments are written daily on our homework boards within our classrooms. Students are also reminded about assignments on a daily basis. In general, homework is a continuation of what we're doing in class, and students get a good deal of time to work on assignments during the school day.  

For the 8th grade year, this blog will be used for reminders and announcements and not for daily homework. We do this every 8th grade year, in response to parent and student feedback from previous looping classes. At the high school, teachers do not post their homework in one common place. This means that students need to take the initiative to write it down. Numerous parents have requested that we start this practice in 8th grade, to better support students' organizational independence. 

Please continue to check Powerschool to monitor your child's progress. As always, your continued support at home is appreciated. 

Reminder:
We are headed to the Flynn Theater on October 8th to listen to John Lewis speak about his book, March. Students need to bring a bag lunch or order from the Cafeteria. Hot lunch will not be available to them that day.
