Team 8B

Welcome Back to the 2025-26 School Year! We are excited to welcome you to Team 8B! We are looking forward to getting to know you and learning and growing together.

Front Row: Michelle Sommer (Social Studies), Christine Freiberg (English Learner Teacher), Michelle Matz (Math Interventionist)

Back Row: Tania Wilson (Honors ELA), Sarah Bakke (Reading Interventionist), Kate Peterson (Core Math), Stacy Rutovic (Core and Honors Math), Caitlin Ament (Core and Honors ELA), Dan Finan (Science)

This week in all content areas, we began learning about our students' interests and assisted them in their organization and preparation as we begin our new school year. Next week, we will begin the instruction and engagement of our eighth-grade standards. We hope you read through the newsletter each week, as it is an efficient communication tool between school and home, making you aware of what each content area focused on for the week, and what the focus will be the following week.
