Welcome to the 8th Grade

This 8th grade year is an exciting time because it is the last year before high school.


The 8th grade grid remains unchanged; however we are encouraging students to participate in the periodic Renaissance progress assessment.


The 8th grade year brings a little different challenge to your student: the Constitution graduation requirement.  This requirement may seem like a huge hurdle, but all of the students who put forth the effort will accomplish this goal.


I strongly recommend that your student attend the Constitution class either first semester or second.  All information needed, instruction, and the required testing will take place during that 11-week class session.
If you have any questions concerning this graduation requirement please feel free to email or call me.

CONSTITUTION CLASS

"Everything an 8th grader ever wanted to know about our country's Constitution, but was afraid to ask" will be the content of this 11 week enrichment course. A duplicate class will run through the 2nd semester as well.
This class will help your student satisfy the Constitution requirement for graduation. 

Parents are required to attend the first class to better prepare students for testing and answer any questions.
