To all incoming seventh and eighth grade parents. It has been brought to my attention that Pearson Realize has experienced some technological issues. Therefore, the summer assignments are no longer available and the assignments that I gave the students will not be able to be completed. I would ask that you direct your children to instead work on Kahn Academy over the summer, reinforcing topics and math skills that we worked on during the year. I look forward to working with your children in the fall.
