Dear Families,
Welcome to 7th grade Math AAC!
This year, our focus is on fostering deep mathematical learning through active engagement, where students don't just memorize formulas, but truly understand the reasoning behind them.
You can review our full syllabus for an overview of course policies, topics, and grading criteria.
Above all, we believe that a positive, growth-oriented attitude is key to success—embracing challenges and learning from mistakes is how real growth happens.
We look forward to partnering with you to make this a successful and rewarding school year!

Tutorials
● Tutorials are meant to help students be successful in the classroom. Whether it is working on missing assignments or getting help understanding the concept. Make sure you use the time wisely when in tutorials.
● Tutorials will be held on Monday and Thursday mornings before school from 8:00 - 8:50. If you cannot make it in the morning and prefer after school, you MUST email your teacher to set up a date and time that will work. Please arrive on time, so we can make the most of the tutorial sessions.
