Grade 8


Preparing for High School:

Although it is another year away, high school will be here before you know it!  Make sure you are prepared by doing your best in your 8th grade classes and establishing good habits.  Here are some suggestions to foster your success:
  • Monitor your grades through the HCPSS Family Portal
  • Communicate regularly with your teachers, especially if you have questions or need help
  • Establish good study habits at home
