Back to School Letter

August 30, 2010

Dear Seventh Grade Parents,

Welcome back! It is wonderful to be back at school for the new school year!

This year in seventh grade, either Mr. Eastes or Ms. Hiefield will be your child’s homeroom teacher. Mr. Eastes also teaches science and literature to all seventh graders. Ms. Hiefield teaches math and religion to all seventh graders. Your child’s other two core teachers will be Dr. Barbieri, geography, and Mrs. Mentele, English.

We are also welcoming four new students to our classroom this year. Jack McGinley joins us from Idaho. Weston Smith has moved here from California. Devyn Wilson is coming from Our Lady of the Lake in Lake Oswego. Finally, Jane Adams has joined us from Camas. Please help us in welcoming these new families to our community.

Today your child received a copy of his or her daily schedule, the middle school late work policy, and the locker policy. Please review this information and help your child follow these policies daily. All students are responsible for writing down their own homework assignments in their planners nightly, as students will have homework on a daily basis. We will discuss these policies and more in further detail at Back to School Night on September 15, 2010.

Finally, the seventh grade needs your help! We would love to have you as a parent volunteer. We will have a sign-up sheet on Back to School Night, so please be thinking about how you can best help us this year.

We are both looking forward to meeting all of you soon!

Mr. Eastes and Ms. Hiefield
