Students this year are asked to focus on three major goals. These three goals will allow each individual student to grow in their 8th grade year. The three goals are to ALWAYS come to class with a positive attitude, ALWAYS try their best, and ALWAYS treat others in a kind way. Students will be pushed to their limits in Math and Science, and are expected to rise to the challenge. Please make sure that ALL materials are brought to class daily. ALWAYS do your best, and this will be a great year at West.
