Welcome Back

Welcome back students and parents!

This year 7th and 8th grade math will be following the new Common Core State Math Standards (click for info).

All classes will be per-assessed, this week, for unit 1.1 in their grade level. Please check with the student to see the syllabus for the year and to find out what they will be studying in Unit 1.1.

It has been a pleasure getting to know new students and I look forward to working with them this year! Feel free to email any questions! Thanks!
