Grades have been updated this week to include the recent quiz on Cognition, Perception and Worldviews. Parents are invited to check their child’s progress at Parent Connect.

Mrs. Foellmer was kind enough to set up an RSS feed Aggregator blog for all 8th Grade LJHS blogs, organized by grade level, so that parents can get a quick summary of recent posts. A big thank-you to Mrs. Foellmer! Please see the link below:
