Greetings Students and Parents,
Welcome back for quarter 4! Can you believe you are only ten weeks from being in 8th grade? Please keep in mind that the last marking period worth of information on our "units" page is still in the process of converting over from the old website and may look very different for awhile. Let me know if you have any needs navigating the website. During this quarter we have a required 7th grade benchmark, a required social studies assessment, required registration for 8th grade and an end of the year exam, so please be patient as our schedule may change quite a bit in the next few weeks. Many thanks and welcome back. Focus of the Week: New Nations Emerge

Please be flexible. Welcome back parents and students! I look forward to a great third quarter and am very excited to see your best effort in class. The natural pace picks up a bit and the level of learning gets a little deeper this quarter, so please let me know if you are falling behind. Due to the snow days for WCPSS we will need to adjust some of the units to make up lost time. Please be patient with me as we catch back up.
On a side note, I am slowly switching info from my old site to this site, with that said the upcoming units may look very disorganized until the full switch is made.
