Dear Students and Families,                         August 23, 2021

Welcome to 8th grade Science!  I am very excited to get to know you and I know we are going to have a happy and productive school year.

This year, students will focus on eight major units. There will be benchmarks throughout the year to measure the students’ learning as well as an EOG at the end of the school year.  The units of study directly correlate to classes that will be taken in high school, so it is very important that students come to class and are prepared to learn.

Students are asked to bring all supplies to class every day.  These supplies include a school chromebook, composition notebook (not a spiral notebook), a pencil, and a positive attitude. 

My homework policy is simple; homework is due on the assigned date and I will not accept late work.  I understand that there can be extenuating circumstances once in a while and I will take these into consideration as the situation arises.  All homework and vocabulary for the week is assigned on Monday, and due on Friday.   I also assign several labor-intensive projects throughout the year because I feel that these provide a more complete learning experience.  Please note that no project will be assigned without written instructions!  

The online grade book is updated weekly.  Homework and vocabulary are weighted at 15%, projects at 20%, classwork worth 35% and quizzes worth 30%.   It is very easy to pass my class with an “A” as long as assignments are quality and turned in on time.  Quizzes will be given every Friday and are based on that week’s learning, with a few “throwback” questions as well.  Making time to study will be important!

Studies show that parental involvement in a child’s education is one of the strongest indicators of student achievement.  If you have any concerns, would like to visit our online classroom, schedule a conference, or volunteer, please feel free to contact me by phone or email. 

Once again, welcome to my class!  Let’s work together to make this the best year ever!!

Sincerely, 

Brad Wroblewski
