You have finally reached 7th grade - the start of your secondary education, a new phase of your educational career. TEAM DENALI teachers are excited to get to know each of you and we look forward to the exciting and challenging year ahead.  The Hillsdale 7th grade teachers are encouraging all 7th grade students and parents to join us now in creating a positive and rewarding school year.

Our combined experience with thousands of Hillsdale 7th graders confirm for us that our 7th graders will face new challenges in one or more of the following areas: organization, time management, academic rigor, perseverance, homework responsibilities, and the inevitable social and emotional obstacles which come with puberty and brain development that occur during this time.

Setting a firm foundation for academic success is our first priority and we are confident that you will support these efforts. Our 7th grade teaching team utilizes a classroom management system that supports all learners and maximizes student success. We provide clear behavioral expectations with consistency.
