7th Grade

On-Site Classes

 

Here are a few simple things to help you get the most out of our weekly meetings.

1.  Class starts at 9 am. Please be on time.

2.  If you cannot attend the class meeting, please call or send a webmail before class.

3.  Always bring your 3-ring binder with your weekly check-off sheet in it and your math notebook.

4.  You need to be on pace with your classes. I pick lessons based on your Connexus calendar. If you have overdue lessons, then you haven't covered the material that we will be focusing on in class. If you haven't read the lesson, done the prep work, and come prepared, you will not benefit from our class time.

5.  Bring a snack and drink. We will have a short break between math and the lesson.

6.  Class is over at 11:30,however our Cyber Village is open until noon.  Students are welcome to stay on-site until 12 pm and work in the village.
