Welcome!!

Welcome to Team 8-M! We are looking forward to a very exciting year. Please use this site often to check for upcoming events and to find many of the links you will need that will help you with your course work, checking grades, etc.

How to use this Blog

Each day, assignments from 8M teachers will be posted as a blog entry. For more detailed explanations of what students are studying, please refer to the individual 8M teacher websites/blog's. The links to teacher websites/blogs are posted on the right-hand side of this page.

Students and parents, please note that because a blog entry may say "no homework", that does not mean students should not be working on something. It simply means, there is no homework that will be "checked" or "turned-in" the next day. Each night, students must continue to read, study, and prepare for the subject/content matter discussed in class.

Best Regards,
8M TEAM
