Message from Mr. Riley

Dear Junior High Parents,

It's hard to imagine that we are only TWO weeks from the end of the first semester! Thank you parents and guardians for being so helpful and supportive of your students in their learning this first semester! We could not do this without you! As we near the end of this first semester, please take a look at PowerSchool and reach out to your student's teachers if you have any concerns about grades. Also, please look at your student’s study table information and encourage them to attend these important review sessions. Lastly, for students planning on taking the High School Placement Test, please look below for an announcement regarding the placement test. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

God Bless,

Mr. Riley

Class Breakdown

7th Grade Science: Students are learning about Newton’s Laws. Students have completed a skateboard lab, marble lab and will finish the unit by designing and building balloon-powered cars. Students will then have a competition to see which car can go the furthest!

8th Grade Science: We have begun our unit over environmental science. This week,

we have learned about the water cycle, the strategies that different communities are taking to keep their water clean and use this precious resource responsibly. Next week, we will complete a cloud lab!
