8th Grade
Now that we are well underway with the second semester, we would like to remind 8th graders that communication with teachers is vital to their success. Whether it be asking for help on material that they did not understand, advance notice of an absence, or just reaching out about issues that they may need some advice with. We are all in this together! We are proud of you and we LOVE you!
Accommodations and SOAR Program
If anyone is concerned about a student who may qualify for accommodations, please refer them to Mr. Madrid or their counselor to get the evaluation process started. Mr. Madrid is currently working on new requests for accommodations and students who need to be re-evaluated. Students on an accommodation plan can contact Mr. Madrid to take exams/quizzes for extended time in his classroom.
