Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school! I hope you are excited as I am to begin a new year and to continue learning algebraic concepts in 7th grade math. This year is going to be a new challenge for you, but you have to remember to keep up with your classwork, homework and organization in order to find success this year. Also, you are reminded to ALWAYS ask questions for clarification or if you do not understand something. You are welcome to ask during class, but can ALWAYS ask me or talk to me individually.

The attached link is a copy of the Welcome Letter distributed on the first day of school.

This year brings many changes regarding the math curriculum in Upper Moreland, mostly at the secondary levels. More to follow...

Again, I'm excited to get the school year started and look forward to getting to know each of you!
