Thanks for a great first semester!
I cannot believe this first semester is over already! It has been so wonderful to have 7th and 8th grade students. I continue to learn from them on a daily basis, so that I can be a better teacher. Thanks to all the parents/guardians for your support and communication! I truly love all my classes and am looking forward to a great second semester. I wish you all a happy, safe, relaxing, and wonderful holiday!!!!

Math Grading System
Middle School Math Grades – Effective immediately, the grading for middle school math will revert back to traditional letter grades. We believe the most effective vehicle to communicate your student’s progress is through traditional percentages that align with letter grades. Another change effective immediately, each quarter report card grade will reflect the student’s work during that quarter only. We will not have cumulative quarter nor semester grades. Extra credit will continue to not be an option for math classes.
