8th Grade Homework Club
NEW! Tuesdays from 2:50 - 4:20 pm!
What is Homework Club?
- start/complete homework,
- work on projects,
- use computers for academic reasons,
- get additional support from another teacher (if arranged in advance),
- organize notebooks,
- study for tests and/or quizzes, and
- complete make-up work.
Ms. Gibson will be the sponsor of this club. She will take attendance and sign off in the student’s agenda book when shown a completed homework. Ms. Gibson will provide help to students; but this is not meant to be a one-on-one tutoring session. If students finish all homework assignments, the eighth-grade team will provide extra work. If for any reason your child will not attend a session, please give Ms. Gibson prior notification at brianna_gibson@hcpss.org or send a note to school with your child.
