8th Grade Class and Homework
Great Day!
I really enjoyed getting to know everyone and am looking forward to a great year!
We will spend the next few days getting to know each other and the classroom rules and procedures. Ask your kids about the point system and what they can earn!!
I sent home an about me page and a parent information sheet. Please fill out as much information as you can give me and return it with your child to school. I will use this website for communication as well as email and phone. I am a middle school parent myself so I know how important it is to communicate directly :)
Any questions please don't hesitate!
****Have a wonderful Easter and a great spring break!*****
