THE “RAM” ILY WELCOMES YOU!!!

“WHERE YOUR CHILD’S THINKING WILL BE REALIZED AND REVEALED”

WE ARE CAPABLE OF “NE” THING!!!!

(PLEASE NOTE: I COMMUNICATE WITH MY PARENTS PRIMARILY VIA EMAIL. SO MAINTAINING AN ACCURATE CURRENT EMAIL IS VITAL!) 

I am delighted to have your child be a part of the learning experience in my class this year. I am a true believer that a strong cooperative effort between home, school, and students is the ONLY way to achieve the highest level of success for your child. My philosophy is that “It takes a village to educate a child”. Here, at Northeast Middle School, we are committed to providing a quality learning environment in which ALL students can achieve academic, social, and personal success in every possible way. Together, I know we will make this year a meaningful and effective one for your child. TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK!!!

Course Overview

During this 8th grade science year your child will cover a number of topics; Geological Time & Evolution, Hydrosphere, Ecology, Microbes & Infectious Diseases, Matter(Chemistry), & Energy Resources. This is an EOG tested course. So keeping up with all the notes and resources given throughout the year is crucial for your child’s achievement, since the test is cumulative. 

BECOMING A CANVAS OBSERVER AND SIGNING UP TO POWERSCHOOL WILL BE AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR YOU TO ENSURE YOUR SCHOLAR’S GROWTH, PROGRESS, & SUCCESS!!!
