Summer Reading for Grade 9: PLEASE GO TO THE LINK BELOW to access summer reading for Natick High School.

***TERM 3 LATE WORK: Parents should monitor IPASS for grades of 50. This means an assignment has not been passed in. Students may have ONE WEEK from the due date to get assignments in. After that, the 50 will remain the grade for that assignment ***

Welcome to Grade 8 Language and Literacy with Mrs. Dabrush!

Please make sure to regularly check this site for homework/assignment updates, upcoming project information, useful links, and other L&L related documents.

I am looking forward to an exciting and productive year!

Class work, homework, and some quizzes are not calculated into the term grade.

These are essential in providing information that helps me make decisions about lessons, differentiation, and further practice. Students are responsible for completing all assigned work and turning it in on time. Late and missing assignments will be reported in the iPass Parent Portal.
