Curriculum Nights
Please join us for our 8th Grade curriculum night. It starts at 7 and ends around 8:30.
8th Grade Night: September 17, 2018
Parent University
On Tuesday, September 25th, Gregory Middle School, Naperville Police Dept., and 360 Youth Services will be coming together to host a Parent University night. There will be presentations on different topics ranging from internet safety to talking to your kids about vaping. You are invited to attend and will have an opportunity to choose from topics that interest you most.
On the night of our Parent University, 3 sessions will be available to parents. The night will begin at 6:00 pm and end at 8:00 pm. You can choose to attend all three sessions, or come and go as needed to fit your schedule. Sessions will run for a half hour and each session will offer the same topics. This will hopefully allow you the opportunity to attend the topics that are most meaningful to you.
HERE, you will find a list of topics being offered. Please review them and once you know which 3 topics you’d like to attend, complete the registration form below. Please note that a minimum of 5 participants are needed to run a topic. If a topic is canceled, you’ll receive notification and an opportunity to pick a new one. Before the night of the event, you will receive a confirmation email listing your session, session location, and times.
If you have any questions, please let us know.

PSAT for 8th Grade Students
On Tuesday, September 25th, all 8th-grade students will complete the College Board PSAT 8/9 test. The PSAT 8/9 assesses reading, writing, vocabulary, and mathematical reasoning. Its focus is on the knowledge and skills predictive of college readiness. Our staff will consider the results of this assessment along with other information when making your child’s high school course placement recommendations.
This is an important opportunity for our 8th graders and we ask that students get a good night's sleep, come to school on time, and try their best. HERE is a letter about the PSAT 8/9 and HERE is a student guide with information about how your child can prepare for it.
