8th Science HW

Homework is posted each Friday for the following week to allow flexibility in
your time management.  Homework is due the next day unless noted.  Warning: Do
not wait until the night before a multiple day assignment is due to get started!

Note, it is extremely important for Junior High students to complete work on
time as we do not accept late work.  If there are issues, please go directly
to the teacher so we can assist.

Time Management

We created a daily planner and then a 5 day weekly planner. Students are
currently living with their planner.  It is very important in helping them
create a schedule that will work for them as they start the new school year! 
See link Time Management on the NewsFlash to learn more.  Thank you!
