Students have successfully made it through the first week of school! Students have done a wonderful job adjusting to their new schedules and routines, and I am very proud to the see the behavior and environment in 7th & 8th Grade this year. On Tuesday, students in 8th Grade have a signed syllabus due to me that will be returned once checked. 7th Grade will have their signed syllabus due on Wednesday when we meet again. I am very proud to see that many in my homeroom turned their papers in early! Way to go 7th grade! This week will begin our movement into content for Social Studies this year.
