Math 7/Honors Math 7Mrs. Malay2013-2014

It is imperative that you monitor your student’s progress in math. If your student begins to struggle or fall behind, please consider the following:

How to help your 7th grader

1. Work with them at home! Ask to see their homework each night. Check agendas and Infinite Campus at least weekly.

2. Each math teacher has one tutoring day per week. Utilize this time, it’s free!

3. Encourage your students to be self-advocates. Teachers cannot address issues they do not know about.
