**Calculator specific to 8^th grade may be required

**Please be aware that each individual teacher may have additional requirements for

their class that you will be made aware of the first week of school.

Students may want to have markers to make posters and other projects.

Scissors are available in the classrooms and should not be carried by students as

they are considered weapons.

All textbooks should be covered at all times. Your child can extend the life of the

texts by putting a cloth cover over the paper one. The religion books are soft-

backed and have been given extra support to extend their use.

Supplies do get used up and wear out. Please make periodic checks that your

child has the supplies needed.

Usually, students have some homework every night.

Each student has a homework assignment book.

If there is no assignment in that subject the word

"none" should be written. Be suspicious of too

many "nones." Check and sign your child's book

every night. Generally, I follow the policy of

one day's grace period for homework. After that

the student receives a zero for that assignment.

I will make every effort to post daily homework on

my homework board and on the Homework site listed

below. (Just click the square.) It is the student’s

responsibility to copy the assignments.

Long term assignments are posted on

the website also. If a project paper is lost you can

e-mail me, and I can send it to you via attachment.
