This is an exciting year because it is the last year before high school.

Language Arts will be slightly different this year.  There is a new reading anthology entitled Literature.

There is also anew vocabulary/spelling book entitled Word Wise.  The rest of the 8th grade grid remains unchanged.

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.
