Welcome to the 8th Grade House and a few brief September updates

Welcome!

On behalf of all of the 8th grader teachers and staff we would like to welcome you to the 8th Grade at Wayland Middle School. We are very excited to welcome a new group of 8th graders and families to the Martin Luther King Jr. House. There are a wide variety of activities and trips throughout the school year. We will be using this blog to keep families updated with the latest information.

We strongly suggest you subscribe to this blog using your primary email address by clicking entering your information in the "follow by email" box in the right hand column of this blog which will notify you when the blog is updated. I will also send out an email to parent/guardian accounts letting you know when a new post has been put up for reading.

September will be a busy month for the 8th grade with the highlight being the 8th grade geology trip to western Massachusetts and upstate New York. We will be taking what we have learned in our first unit on geology and applying to field studies at various locations that give us evidence and clues about past events.

I will have more information regarding the trip in a post early next week, including permission slips, itineraries, and payment information.

Please note the dates of the trip as they are different than previous years. This is an extended day trip. Students arrive at the middle school at 5:45 AM and return to the school around 8:00PM. 

Students will be going on one of two trip days, depending on their science class:

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 26 OR 

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 28




Again, on behalf of the entire 8th grade staff we would like to welcome all of you to a new school year. We are looking forward to working with all the children and helping them have a successful year.

Thanks

Melissa McDonald, Rich Battaglia, Rob Reddington, and Kevin Farley
