8th Grade Parents:
8th grade homework assignments build on what has happened that day in class. The lesson is taught and assignments are typically begun in class. They need to be completed before the next class. Without completed homework, students will not be as successful in the next day. This design is intended to help 8th graders become more independent learners, a skill needed for high school. Please check Power School daily to see what the day's homework assignment is, and ask to see your child's homework when it is completed.
Juniors & Seniors & Their Parents/Guardians:
Every week Sarah sends out an E-newsletter containing all things college and career. Many of you are on the list to receive it, but many are not! There is so much information pertaining to life after high school, this is the most effective way to communicate it to you. If you do NOT get this e-letter, please email Sarah and request to be added to the list. sgrasso@lelandandgray.org
