THE 8TH GRADE EXPERIENCE
Develop Respect and Responsibility
Eighth grade, students will develop respect for teachers and one another and be encouraged to develop a class culture of prayer together. In the first semester of eighth grade, students will learn and apply time management skills with regard to class preparation. They will be expected to demonstrate responsibility with including promptness of arrival to class, meeting deadlines, and be prepared with all requirements and materials for each class period. They will develop writing skills using the Pre-AP Approach for History and English class assignments. Respect for teachers and one another will be encouraged as well as developing a class culture of prayer together. Through formative and summative assessment, we will be able to identify needs for further reinforcement. As students succeed they enjoy eligibility for extracurricular activities and positive reinforcement for their efforts in responsibility and academics.
