Welcome to 7th and 8th Grade Social Studies and Character Education
Goals of the Courses
The main goal of Social Studies is to provide students with information so that they become informed, respectful, and intelligent citizens in today's society. Also, the hope is that students will develop a much better understanding for the world around them. Also, for the first time this year, I will be teaching a Character Education course during our 7th/8th Life Skills class period. Character Education will focus on developing good people, making good decisions, and becoming more productive members of the community and society as a whole. Hopefully, after this year, the students will be well on their way towards the goals for both of these courses.
Homework
Please check with your child daily for what assignments they may have in class. Assignments will also be posted on this website.

Students should turn in ALL assignments on time. Students will be given two FREE late assignments. However, if assignments are excessively late or late work becomes a continuous problem for individual students, points will be taken off the final grade.
