Welcome to Middle School

Social Studies and

7th & 8th grade Ethics!

What better way to contribute to our school than by shopping through Amazon's charitable site: Smile.amazon.com (Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchase to TECCS)

On your first visit to AmazonSmile, you need to select a charitable organization: The Ethical Community Charter School, Jersey City which will receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. We will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation.

I look forward to working with everyone in 6th-8th Social Studies & Ethics!

I will update the website as needed.
