As this school year comes to an end, I would like to share some

thoughts with you...... it's not just the learning that is important.

It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you

learn things that matter.  That is a quote from Norton Juster. 

Internalize what you learn so you can apply that knowledge. 

I wish each and everyone a successful educational journey;

be essential!

This week we will focus on solving EQUATIONS - they are not going away.....
Thank you to those who are doing assigned work, especially Checkpoints - they are graded!
I will post grades this week. It is simple: if you have an "I" for incomplete grade

- you will go to summer school. Meaning if you do not have a grade for the

checkpoints (Scatter plots & Two Way Frequency Tables and upcoming Checkpoints)

it is INCOMPLETE. All assignments are located in Google Classroom under Classwork-
If you are having Chrome Book issues or internet issues - let me know.
Let me know how I can help you.

Message from Governor Kemp announced that

he is issuing a Shelter-In-Place order for the

state and canceling in-school instruction

for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year.  

This means we will not return for regular school

or district operations for the remainder of our academic calendar.  

Here's a message from Dr. Walker - 8th grade Assistant Principal

Hello and Happy Remote Learning Awesome 8^th Graders,

What a strange time period this is for our school and for society. With that being said, I know that you and your family are having to adjust to a new normal and I along with the 8^th grade teachers will be understanding.  I hope that you and your family are safe and have what you need during this time of social distancing. Please reach out if you are experiencing any difficulty getting online or getting other needs met. I can’t be sure that I can help with everything, but I will surely try. Mrs. Pitts (8^th grade counselor) is also available to support you and your family. We care about you and your family and want to make sure that you all are safe. Please be responsible with your health. Make sure that you wash your hands, sanitize areas around you, and practice social distancing. Also be responsible with your school work. Please let myself, your teachers, and or your counselor know how we can continue to support you.

We are still discussing end of the year activities and putting plans in place for if we return to school, and or if for some reason we aren’t able to. We will share out finalized information as we get closer to returning. As of now, we are planning on having our 8^th Grade Awards Program and the dance. However, these events are contingent upon many other things and our decision is subject to change. We will keep you all updated.

Stay safe and healthy until we come together again.

Dr. Walker 8^th Grade Assistant Principal
