Eighth grade is a time of personal exploration. Who am I? What are my interests, strengths and abilities? How do I need to grow to realize my aspirations?
The eighth grade team believes that students' futures hold unlimited and unknown possibilities, and that exploring those possibilities impacts the learning that they engage in today. Cognizant of the demands that lie ahead for students, teachers design learning activities that strike a balance between exploration and structure, high expectations and support, and personalization and collaboration.
In the spring, the middle school counselors give a presentation to rising 8th grade students, reviewing the course selection process and going over existing and new electives.
A Zoom presentation will also be available for parents and guardians.
Students and parents will be emailed a link to the online course guide for review. Course requests will be done through Alma and you will receive an email when the site is live. Parents/guardians will be able to view their child's course requests on their Alma account.
Schedules are sent home over the summer. Counselors are available the week before school to make changes.
