Welcome Back!
Hello! Welcome to my site. It is my hope that
this site will improve communication, clarify assignments/requirements, provide resources, and hopefully, include things you will find interesting.
I plan on listing topics we'll be discussing in class, as well as, identifying assignment due dates and upcoming quizzes and/or tests. Your child's agenda book
remains the best place start when determining whether an assignment is due. I do try to make it to every student and sign off on their agenda book, indicating the assignment was written
accurately. As the year progresses, I will continue to modify and develop this site in an effort to provide updated information that will help your child have a successful year in
social studies.
Have a great school year and I look forward to seeing you at Back to School Night.
Mr. Storch

It's been a productive two days. The kids have been doing a great job, adjusting to new schedules, new teachers, new lockers... In addition to discussing classroom procedures, we also discussed how marking period grades are broken down. These are the breakdowns:
6th Grade:
HW = 10%
TESTS = 20%
QUIZZES = 20%
CLASSWORK = 20%
PARTICIPATION = 15%
STUDENT CHOICE = 15%
7th Grade:
HW = 10%
TESTS = 20%
QUIZZES = 20%
CLASSWORK = 20%
PARTICIPATION = 10%
STUDENT CHOICE = 20%
Homework for both grades this week includes having textbooks covered and notebooks together for Monday, the 12th. Notebooks should be a 3 ring binder or section of a 3 ring binder reserved for social studies. Binders should also include a pocket folder.
