Welcome to a new school year in 8th Grade Pre-Algebra! We will use HMH consumable textbooks, with online access available after account setup. Students may write in their textbooks and tear out pages for practice. Daily homework is assigned to enhance proficiency, and classwork must be completed during class unless otherwise specified. Quizzes check understanding, while tests and major grades are scheduled for Wednesdays and Fridays. Parents can access class information on my website, and I offer free tutoring after school. Let’s work together for success this year!
