Welcome Back to School
It is that time of year and everyone is excited. I do believe the parents are most happy. :-) Seventh grade is a huge year with the Writing Test, Reading and Math EOG’s, and preparation for the North Carolina Technology Skills Test the kids take in eighth grade.
I wanted to take just a minute to make you aware of some of the items that are available to make sure that communication is a constant two way process. I have built this website, with the generous help of an outside sponsor, so that students are more organized in their studies and parents are more aware of the goings on of class.
In the Classroom Calendar section of the page, homework will be listed out everyday, upcoming school wide events will be posted, and important dates will be maintained. This is an excellent way for students to make sure they are in step to achieve their maximum potential and for parents to make sure they stay informed and connected at school. Everything is color-coded – Social Studies is blue and Language Arts is green. Make sure you click items that are underlined; they will open up another window with even more information.
In the Norwayne Middle Section I have scanned every worksheet that correlates with our Social Studies and Literature books. This way, if a sheet is lost, misplaced, messed up, or a student is absent – the assignments are posted in the calendar and available online. You do need Acrobat Reader to get access. Acrobat is a free resource to download. Some of the files are large and dial up browsers might be a little slow.
I want to provide every available resource for the students to be successful and the parents to be kept informed. This site gives us a great start. With the energy of the students, the determination of the teacher, and the expectations of the parents, we can not help but achieve our goals.
I look forward to an exceptional year!
