Welcome to 7th Grade Social Studies!  This year will be full of exciting new challenges.  I’m positive that with hard work and some studying, we will all do great!  The 7th grade teachers hold high expectations, so following the procedures will make for a great year!!

Course Policies:

 1.  Follow directions of the adults in the building

      2.  Be on time and prepare with materials

      3.  Raise your hand and wait to be called upon

      4.  Be respectful of others and their belongings.

Grades:

Grades will be based on the total point system.  The nine-week grade for Social Studies in 8th grade will be determined using the following percentages:  40% – major test and projects, 30% – quizzes, independent work, 20% – class work, group work and teacher facilitated activities, 10% – homework.  We will use the 10 point Grading Scale (A=90-100, B=80-89, C=70 -79, D=60-69, F=59 and below).  If you need to get in contact with me the best is through my email-[email protected].  My planning time is 10:45 – 12:00.
