Homework                   

Most assignments are graded, particularly in science and English. Students are responsible for keeping up with assignments when they are absent.

Tests                            

Dates of tests in other subjects are posted one week in advance. Tests and quizzes are sent home regularly for your review. Please sign and have your child return them within two days. Grades are posted on RVS at least once a week - usually on Wednesday or Thursday.

Extra Credit                  

Extra credit is offered to students in the 7th and 8th grade science classes. Each student may do a total of 9 extra credit papers per trimester which could possibly add 3 points to his/her trimester grade. Extra credit papers are available in the classroom. Students must read the information on the paper and answer the corresponding questions on a separate sheet of paper.

Class Rules                   

 Respect others, yourself, and the environment. Set a good example.

Goal

My goal, as the 8th grade teacher, is to prepare your child for high school. To achieve this, I hold him/her responsible for him/herself - the successes and the failures. We all learn from our mistakes as well as from things we do well; however, I want students to accept any consequences of their mistakes without placing blame on someone else.
