- Your child will also need to provide a copy of a 4" x 6” baby picture. Please do not send the original picture because there is no guarantee that you will get the picture back. This should be a picture of your child between the ages of birth to 2 years of age.
- We will read 2 novels. It will be beneficial to go ahead and purchase these 2 novels because we may begin the school year by reading one of them. PLEASE ORDER THEM NOW AND KEEP THEM AT HOME UNTIL I ASK THE STUDENTS TO BRING THEM TO SCHOOL.
** It is critical that you get the very same copies of these books that I have because we will be referencing different pages in the books. It will cause great confusion for your student if he or she has different copies.

*Nota Bene - SHARED BINDERS: Many 8th grade students find it helpful to have one LARGE 3 ring binder for morning classes (1st + 2nd period are the classes before break), one for midday classes (3rd + 4th period are the classes between break and lunch) and 1 smaller binder for 5th period (after lunch) (6th period is elective). Students may switch books/binders at their lockers at break and lunch so they don’t have to carry all books/binders all day.
