Welcome back! I am so excited about meeting you and being your 8th grade ELA teacher this year. 

This is a big year for you as it is your last year at WIS! It is your last chance to leave your mark on our school: to mature, make friends, learn, participate in extracurricular activities and most importantly, prepare to enter high school.

I have nothing but high hopes and expectations for all of you. And I am certain that if we all work together you will succeed and enjoy your last year at WIS! To get off on the right start, review the checklist of materials that you will need for our class.
