Mrs. Gooden and I are delighted to have you here for the 2024-2025 school year!

7th grade is a crucial time for building a strong foundation in Mathematics, Science, ELA, and Social Studies. Success this year will depend on your attitude and approach to learning. Here are a few key principles to keep in mind as we embark on this journey together:

1. Positive Attitude: Embrace each day with enthusiasm and an open mind. A positive attitude can transform challenges into opportunities and setbacks into learning experiences. Believe in your ability to succeed, and you'll find that you are capable of achieving great things.

2. Perseverance: Math and science can be challenging, but perseverance is the key to overcoming obstacles. When you encounter difficult problems or concepts, remember that persistence and hard work will lead to breakthroughs. Keep trying, ask for help when needed, and never give up.

3. Integrity: Always strive to do your best and be honest in your efforts. It means taking responsibility for your actions, doing your own work, and being respectful to your classmates and teachers.

4. Content Mastery: This year, we will explore a variety of topics and further develop critical thinking skills. Focus on mastering the content by actively participating in class, completing assignments, and seeking out additional resources. The more you engage with the material, the deeper your understanding will become.

We are here to support you every step of the way. We are dedicated to helping you succeed and are excited to see you grow and excel in your core subjects. Together, we will make this a year of discovery, learning, and achievement.

Welcome back, and let’s make the 2024-2025 school year a fantastic one!
