**Here is the website for our TN State Standards. Everything your child
should learn in reading and language arts is together under "English". Just
click on the subject in the top blue band, then click the appropriate grade.
It is important to keep up with the expectations for seventh-grade. Remember,
any area can be practiced on the Study Island website. It can be accessed by
clicking on the "Study Island" tab on this website. The tabs labeled
"standards support" are additional sources for extra practice.

Did your child bring home the information about Power School. This online
site gives parents access to grade information 24/7 with a username and
password.
Next look for online assignment posting - a great tool if your child is
absent. You just print out their assignments from any computer!
Isn't technology wonderful!

**Did you feed your "HIPPO" today??? Remember to feed your "hippocampus"
each night 5-10 minutes before bedtime. As you sleep, your brain will process
this information in your long-term memory!! You will be accomplishing 8 hours
of homework while sleeping!! Try it!!
