Dear Students/Parents/Guardians:
This is the information necessary for my class. Please read carefully:
*PowerSchool is where you will have access to grades and assignments. Check my account often. Although not all assignments are on PowerSchool, students have daily access to my assignments. I review the upcoming work frequently and my Assignment Calendar is always in the front of my room on the chalkboard ledge.
*I will be using Clever's Castle Learning which will be used for assignments and quizzes. This program is sponsored and supported by the District.
*Students will be required to copy notes, be prepared with materials, be attentive and respectful, follow all school, class, and District guidelines, and positively participate in class.
*Students will also be required to keep a Current Events Journal and to bring it to class everyday. These assignments will be counted as homework grades. As we begin this school year with a presidential election, students should pay special attention to what is going on in relation to this election and should actively listen to and research what the candidates discuss. The Vice Presidential Debate between Walz and Vance is scheduled for October 1st. Hopefully, students will watch at least some of the debate to hear what the two candidates are proposing if their ticket is elected.
Due to the important election in November, I will start the year covering the Three Branches of the Government to help the students understand how our government works, the responsibilities, authority, and requirements for each of the Branches, so the students can analyze whether the information they are hearing from the candidates actually follows the US Constitution.
*Students have been informed that I DO NOT give my personal political viewpoints. I DO NOT tell students which candidate(s) I will or have ever voted for. This is unprofessional and unethical.
The curriculum for Gr. 7 begins with Pre-History and moves along to the Civil War.
The curriculum for Gr. 8 refreshes your knowledge of the Civil War and moves to present-day History.
