Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!

Cluster 8M is excited to work with your students!

• 8M’s Objective: To prepare students for high school high school and life!

We are excited to focus on quality teaching and learning for all students, while building the strongest academic community possible. We will do this through high-quality instruction in the classroom, modeling appropriate ways to treat others, and by creating numerous learning opportunities for our students.

We will teach students how to become better organized and how to become more critical thinkers. Additionally, students will learn how to model all the IB learner traits.

Again, 8M looks forward to working with your students this year!

Respectfully,

8M Cluster
