Studying & Test-Taking Skills: Tips to Prepare for a Test (or Exam)

If you (or your child) could use assistance with study skills, preparing for a test, or even test-taking strategies, check out the two videos below.

Though these videos are primarily for students, parents are welcome to view them for ideas as well.

#1: Study Skills

Welcome to our Middle School Blog!

Welcome to our new blog from teachers to families!


Our goal is to share timely, relevant information about what's going on at school and how parents and students can ensure success in the seventh and eighth grades.

We have found that many of our students and parents share common questions, so we will gradually add video and text posts to address current topics and answer commonly-asked questions.
