“As educators of 8th grade students in the core areas of Science, Math, Language Arts, and History we will aim to provide students with an academic program that will keep them engaged and increase overall achievement in the classroom. We will strive to exceed the goals set forth by our district and state as we rigorously prepare students for academic success. We will do this by giving various forms of assessment that will challenge students to complete their work and strive to be focused learning individuals.”
