Team 8A Parent letter

Woodworth Middle School

2022-2023 School Year   

Dear Parents and/or Guardians,

Welcome! This is team 8A and it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year. We are very excited to have your child in our classroom for the rest of the year. This is a journey we both must be involved in for your child to succeed. We will do our best and work hard to teach your child the content but will work harder to educate them about what it means to be a young adult; to develop characteristics to become hardworking, mature, and well-rounded individuals. As promised, we will do our best, but cannot do it alone. The most influential people in a child’s life are their parents. For this reason, we are asking you, the parents, to help us to help your child grow in the most beneficial way. Throughout the school year, your child will be going through many normal teenage experiences and at the same time juggling 6 different classes. Therefore, your child is going to need you to be there for them by making sure they are doing their classwork and studying.  

Each week we will greatly appreciate it if you check your child’s planner and make sure they are organized and follow through on their responsibilities outside the classroom such as homework or absent work.  Also, be sure to check Parent Connect weekly to get an update on grades and attendance. On each teacher’s syllabus, there will be contact information. Communication between parents and teachers is very important. That is why you will be receiving updates, informational emails, and messages regarding your child’s situation in their classes. Finally, we want you to encourage your child to work hard in our classes and we will guarantee you that we will be working even harder to see all of our students meet their goals. We look forward to working with my students and wish them all the best.

Sincerely,

Team 8A

Welcome Back Students

Hello Parents, Caregivers, and students,

Welcome to 8th Grade! My name is Ms.Elzroui and I will be your Math teacher. I am so excited to meet and experience your last year of Middle School together! This year will be filled with fun, LOTS of learning, and new adventures! I am a firm believer that every student can learn and succeed, so I know you can too! I will make sure we always learn something important, that I am always available to listen and answer your questions, and that if you work hard in my class, not only will you do great, but I will be your biggest supporter! We are going to make it the best year yet – I promise!

Tips for Success: Check our classroom Website (Schoology) weekly for messages, updates, and assignments.

Sincerely. 

Ms.Elzroui 

Welcome Back Students

Welcome back to another school year at Woodworth Middle School! We hope you had a fun and relaxing summer vacation and are ready to embark on this new year with enthusiasm while having a growth mindset. We are excited to have you and would have preferred to welcome you back in a more traditional way. Unlike other first days of school, this year is going to be different. However, we are positive that together we will get through it!

First, I would like to introduce myself to you. I am Mrs .Elzroui, and I will be your Advisory teacher. I will also be the point of contact for you during this remote learning period. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach me at the email address I provided below. 

One thing we added this year is grade level teams. We have two teams in 7th and 8th grade– Team A and Team B. Each student will be part of a team and will report to the same group of teachers. Please refer to the table below and your schedule (attached below) to see your team designation based on who your teachers are. You will also find a calendar for the month of September that shows the rotation of days (A/B) so it’s easier to follow.

By now, you should be able to access your Student Connect account. Use your student ID and password (from last year) to log in to Student Connect and view your schedule. 

To make sure that you have all the materials needed for this school year, we will be running a required drive thru pick-up for all students. Students will get a welcome packet, their math book, amongst other materials. There are roads closed throughout the Woodworth neighborhood. The traffic and distribution will be one way on Hubbard next to door number 7 facing Greenfield. Please plan on arriving during your set time by the beginning letter of your last name; if you are unable to make it during your set time, try to be here when your assigned grade level is here.
