I am beyond excited to be your teacher this school year. I look forward to a successful, fun and great year. Laptops and Ipads are not a requirement, but if you are allowed to bring your own they will be a great asset most days. I do allow you to type all your notes and we will be online researching, various learning activities and online reading probably 3-4 times a week. I do have about 10 classroom computers, but those will be to share among the students. If you like to work on your own I would suggest bringing a device. If you wish to use your cell phone I am ok with that as long as you are not texting, calling anyone or communicating via any form of social media - no games in class also sorry fortnite fans. Your cell device will also have to have "flash" installed or use a browser like Puffin that acts as "flash", as many of our activities do require "flash". You can choose to use either google drive or bring your own jump drive. I am not a fan of google so will rarely use myself, but the choice is up to you and your parents. The first day or two will be a nice and easy going lead into our exciting year ahead. Please arrive on Monday with the best you ready to learn. I think you will find I'm one of the most easy going and kind teachers at the school but with that said I do expect you to be mature, well behaved and try your best - all while being kind to your classmates. I am also an adviser for FCA, so I look forward to seeing anyone that would like to attend during Friday "A" lunch. Once again I look forward to a great year and I will see you in just under 24 hours!!!

I know you will do your best and achieve great things. Always do what is right, be good citizens, stand up for those who can't stand for themselves, have a kind heart, always obey your parents, love people where they are while encouraging them to grow, and never ever, ever ring the bell (you'll understand after yesterday's motivational video)!

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.
