The 2010 - 2011 school year is right around the corner. I am really very excited for this school year. Many of you had me for 7th grade Language Arts and Social Studies last year. I think it will be great to have many of you again this year for 8th grade, I will be teaching all subjects this year. Those of you that had me last year, be prepared for changes, my expectations for you as 8th graders are even higher than they were for you as 7th graders.  I hope you all had a great summer and are ready to get back to hard work and great success!  


Don't forget to check parent portal/power school for updated grade and assignment information for your student. 
Allowing your child to check on his or own assignment information will help them gain a sense of responsibility for their own work. 
If you need your parent portal sign on information contact the office.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions tbutcher@madison-academy.org

Be sure to check our online class calendar if you are unsure of when something is due. Large projects will be posted to the calendar, as will most tests/quizzes. You are responsible for having your assignments completed and turned in on time, every time. Even if I don't get it added to the calendar.

Basics:
  • Be prepared to learn and do your best every day!!!
  • Have homework complete and supplies in hand when you come to class.
  • Sharpen pencils (at least 2) at the beginning of the day, between classes or at the end of the day. Better yet have 7mm mechanical pencils & lead. 
  • Follow all school and classroom rules and procedures at all times!!!!
    • If you want special privileges earn them.
  • Be responsible for yourself and your own actions, no one else can do the right thing for you.
  • Be respectful of yourself and others.
  • Be kind to yourself and others.
  • Be safe, if it could hurt you or someone else DON'T DO IT!!
  • Do not bully, gossip or fight, it isn't respectful, kind or safe!
