Welcome to Mrs. Schroeder's eighth grade English class. It is my hope that this year will be an exciting and enlightening one. I expect you to work hard, but I'm sure we can laugh along the way. My goal is to ensure a respectful and productive classroom environment. In addition, I have set some goals that I wish for all of my students to attain. It is my firm belief that all students can improve and grow in their ELA skills on a daily basis. It is my hope that each and every student leaves my classroom with their skills enhanced and a greater passion for life-long learning. Please use this site as a resource daily. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments please contact me at jschroeder@sachem.edu.
