Welcome to the fourth and final quarter of 7th grade, what a whirlwind year it has been. Make sure to sign up for spring virtual conferences and also that your scholar knows their new schedule that starts on Monday. We are excited to see more kids together in the building.
If your scholar is unsure of their schedule for Monday, they have created them with their Connections teacher.
There is no longer a Shark tank study hall as we switch to a new schedule. If a scholar needs extra support they should reach out to their teacher directly to set up an appointment for help.

Forward testing window March 22nd - April 30th - it starts at OMS on the 7th of April for 7th-grade students who are online.

(Gunst) | We are wrapping our TED Talk Unit. Your student has been working over these past weeks on choosing a topic, researching, and now finishing writing a 5 paragraph persuasive paper on their TED Talk topic
Next week, we will be discussing what is effective public speaking and then will begin individual presentations. Please let your student know they should contact me if they need help or are feeling anxious about their presentations.
This is the end of the year where it will be important for students to stay focused on their school work. They have done an amazing job this year considering the circumstances. But, they need to run through the finish line and, for example, continue to read 20 minutes outside of class every night. |
