Welcome back 7th Grade! I am excited for the school year to begin! This is my 11th year teaching at SBS and it will be nice to see old friends and make new ones. Each month I will post the chapters or topics we are working on and student service hour opportunities. It is more important to me as an educator to help my students master skills and understand content, then it is to rush to complete a text or chapter. Therefore, you may see topics carry over to the next month, or we may be able to finish some material faster than expected. My monthly outline is an estimate of what we will be able to cover each month. Please feel free to email me with any questions, jrenner@sbsenfield.org. Look for a parent letter to come home on the first day of school, as well as classroom and homework expectations. The following week I will send home information about service hours and the Rosary Mass.
