During the first week of school, students had fun seeing old friends and prior teachers. They have more responsibilities and opportunities this year, and they are embracing their new status in the school.
All students in this class spent time reviewing the novel they read over the summer, and will take a short quiz on their selected book on Friday. On Thursday they will review the vocabulary words they should have studied over the summer, and will take that quiz on Friday as well.
I believe we are off to a great start and I am looking forward to a wonderful year with these new 8th graders!
All middle school teachers have a standardized late work policy designed to promote responsibility
and time management skills that are essential for academic success.
Students who fail to submit homework or practice assignments will receive a zero with no opportunity for makeup credit. This policy encourages consistent daily engagement with course material.
Late submissions will be accepted within one calendar week of the original due date for a maximum of 50% credit. Work submitted after this date will receive a grade of zero. Students must notify teachers via email when submitting late work—Google Classroom messages do not fulfill this requirement.
Missed quizzes and tests due to absence must be completed upon return or within one week for extended absences. It is each student’s responsibility to schedule makeup assessments.
