Welcome to 8th Grade Health!

Over the course of twenty weeks, students will engage in a comprehensive health education program that is part of a progressive curriculum spanning grades K-12.

Our approach to health education is designed to develop essential skills in alignment with New York State’s Navigate by the Stars curriculum, as well as state and national standards.

The 8th Grade Health Education curriculum aims to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to promote health and wellness for themselves and others throughout their lives. Students will have the opportunity to apply these essential skills to reduce health risks and foster overall well-being.

Welcome to Our Classroom!

We are excited to share important information about how we will be organizing and sharing class materials through our Google Classroom platform. Our goal is to provide a positive and inclusive learning environment for all students.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In the "Classwork" tab of Google Classroom, you will find a variety of resources including: 

• ASSIGNMENTS: These are graded assignments with due dates 

• NOTES: These are class notes for the lesson we just completed to help students who were absent and to assist with assigned work

• CHOICE BOARDS: These are sometimes graded work (labeled as an assignment) and are sometimes extension activities

Assignments will automatically sync to your Google Calendar for easy organization. Feel free to also use a paper agenda if that method works best for you. 

We encourage students to check Google Classroom regularly throughout the week to stay updated on assignments and announcements. 

To stay organized, students will need a binder, section of a binder, or a folder to keep handouts and class materials neatly stored. 

Thank you for being a part of our inclusive and supportive learning community!
