Congratulations to our 8th grade class! High school is just around the corner. Before you go your separate ways for the summer, the STEM Launch teachers and staff would like to celebrate all that you have accomplished. Unfortunately, the end of year celebration must look different this year. On Wednesday the 20th at 12:30, we will be posting a link to the 8th Grade Celebration website. The website will include the awards ceremony, slideshow, memory board, and goodbye messages from many members of our staff. In addition, there will be live links for remote classrooms starting at 1:00. These classes will be open for students to go in and out of and to connect with other students and teachers one last time. Thank you to students and families for being supportive and patient during remote learning.
¡Felicitaciones a nuestra clase de octavo grado! La escuela secundaria está a la vuelta de la esquina. Antes de ir por caminos separados para el verano, los maestros y el personal de STEM Launch desean celebrar todo lo que han logrado. Desafortunadamente, la celebración de fin de año debe será diferente este año. El miércoles 20 a las 12:30, publicaremos un enlace al sitio web de Celebración del 8º Grado. El sitio web incluirá la ceremonia de premiación, presentación de diapositivas, tarjeta de memoria y mensajes de despedida de muchos miembros de nuestro personal. Además, habrá enlaces en vivo para aulas remotas a partir de la 1:00. Estas clases estarán abiertas para que los estudiantes entren y salgan y se conecten con otros estudiantes y maestros por última vez. Gracias a los estudiantes y las familias por ser solidarios y pacientes durante el aprendizaje remoto.

Social Studies |
ALL work is now final for 8th grade Social Studies. Attendance is required next week so I will send out an easy 2-3 question survey next week. You must complete next week's survey or you will be marked absent for next week. The final grades you receive for Social Studies are based on your work all throughout the year. I did not consider remote learning grades unless it helped you. In other words, if you did poorly in remote learning, your grade was not affected. Unfortunately, if you did poorly in remote learning, you missed an easy opportunity to get your grades up if they were low. I am not sure when grades will be posted. |
The Survey is posted in Google Classroom. Its due on Friday. |
-
Teachers will upload weekly assignments before Monday of each week. Some teachers will post assignments early, so check over the weeked if you want to get a head start.
- Assignments are due at the end of the day on Friday. (Originally assignments were due Sunday. This has been moved to Fridays so that teachers can accurately take attendance. )

-
Office hours are for live interactions with the teacher and for issues that need a more immediate response. Teachers may use this time for small group sessions, class discussions, modeling the weekly assignments, general Q&A, and/or individually scheduled live events.
-
Student participation during these live sessions is only required if requested by the teacher.
-
Live sessions can be initiated by either:
-
The teacher sharing a link to students for an “optional” session
-
Students or parents emailing the teacher, requesting a time to meet live.
-
How else can I contact the teacher?
- Feel free to email teachers directly. Teachers will respond within 48 hours. In most cases, they will respond much sooner.
How will attendance be taken for each class?
-
Teachers will be required to take attendance based on work production. “Attendance” means that students make an effort on each assignment. Simply submitting a blank document does not count as attendance.
What will be graded and how will I be tested?
-
As of right now, all work and assessments will be graded just like they would if students were in school. The classwork and assessments that are done over the next several weeks will be added to the work already completed this year.

-
Las horas de oficina son para interacciones en vivo con el maestro y para problemas que necesitan una respuesta más inmediata. Los maestros pueden usar este tiempo para sesiones de grupos pequeños, discusiones en clase, modelando las tareas semanales, preguntas y respuestas generales y / o eventos en vivo programados individualmente.
-
La participación del estudiante durante estas sesiones en vivo solo se requiere si el maestro lo solicita.
-
Las sesiones en vivo pueden iniciarse por:
-
El maestro comparte un enlace con los estudiantes para una sesión "opcional"
-
El profesor envía un correo electrónico a los estudiantes directamente y los invita a un Hangout de Google.
-
Estudiantes o padres enviando un correo electrónico al maestro, solicitando un tiempo para encontrarse en vivo.
-
¿De qué otra manera puedo contactar a la profesor/a?
-
No dude en enviar un correo electrónico a los maestros directamente. Los maestros responderán dentro de las 48 horas. En la mayoría de los casos, responderán mucho antes.
¿Cómo se tomará la asistencia para cada clase?
-
Se requerirá que los maestros asistan según la producción laboral. "Asistencia" significa que los estudiantes hacen un esfuerzo en cada tarea. Simplemente enviar un documento en blanco no cuenta como asistencia.
¿Qué me calificarán y cómo me evaluarán?
-
A partir de ahora, todo el trabajo y las evaluaciones se calificarán como lo harían si los estudiantes estuvieran en la escuela. El trabajo de clase y las evaluaciones que se realicen durante las próximas semanas se agregarán al trabajo ya completado este año.
