Hello and Welcome!
Am I looking forward to seeing/meeting all the returning/new POCS students for the 2024/25 school year! The first day of school is Wednesday, August 14th. School starts at 8:40 am and ends at 1:00 pm.

Google Classroom page/link for Block 2 - classroom.google.com/c/NzAxOTU1MTMxOTEz?cjc=klje7mv
You can find the suggested materials/supply list page here and numerous informational links for accessing websites and online curriculum that we will be using throughout the school year. The "schoolwork" tab in Google classroom includes all the informational links.
I will be going over all specific/suggested materials for my class with students on the first day of school. So please do not stress over needing to shop for all your school materials before school starts. One specific recommendation if you do shop for school supplies early, is a 3-ring binder that is "at least 3 inches thick" with index/subject dividers. We recommend this thickness because this binder will be used for both blocks/classes - Mr. Pitchford (Math/Science) and Ms. Dolan (English/History). Lined binder paper, pens (red and black/blue) and pencils are great to have as well. Supply List - docs.google.com/document/d/1qUlJPmf7UuQSe2snaXVpPNyzEyp9zw83/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103376948587028890510&rtpof=true&sd=true
We will continue using the Aeries online grade book system. This is a great way to stay up-to-date on your child's progress. Please use it and access it at least weekly. In 8th grade, things move fast and your child's grade can change quickly when work is not completed/turned in. Parent Square within the Aeries system is a great tool for all school communication and staying "in the know". Information to access both these sites can be found on my Google classroom page.

There is also a classroom homework calendar located at the bottom of this page. It will detail daily happenings, updates, classwork/homework for my class. I encourage students and parents to use/check it daily and/or when needed. This is a great way for parents to check what is happening in class and/or what should be done by your student each day. Parents/students can also check this if the student planner did not get updated for the day's homework (we update/go over the planner/homework each morning in class) and/or whenever absent from school. This will be a very important tool to help with students staying organized and avoiding procrastination habits. The block 1 calendar page will be the classwork/homework for both blocks 1 and 2 throughout the school year.

Thank you for visiting and I look forward to a successful school year with your child,
Rob Pitchford
