My Promise
My goal this year is to prepare you for 8th grade and high school. Starting NOW, Im
going to ask you to try everything. TRY! You may initially hate that Im challenging you in
ways that perhaps, you feel are unfair. However, I will tell you that my expectations are
high because YOU CAN DO IT! Si, se puede!
Everything you will learn is to achieve mastery in a skill set. These skills become building
blocks which, after 7th grade, have created the foundation for you to be successful in life,
high school and ultimately college! You will demonstrate mastery of these skills through
countless mathematical assignments. To help ensure your success, you will be provided
with requirements and expectations for all assignments at the time they are assigned.

Homework will be assigned during the week as practice for you to gain mastery of a
topic. It is your responsibility to complete homework. Homework is PRACTICE. How can
you be fabulous at something if you dont practice?
All homework assignments are due on its due date. I encourage you to complete
assignments on time, however, late homework assignments will be accepted on Fridays
for a lower grade. Please note that assignments received after Friday make-up days, will
not be accepted as you need to take accountability. Students who turn in work late will
be given the opportunity to receive a grade of 30% or above.
