Welcome

Welcome to our class website. A cohort is a group of people united in an effort. Our hope is that parents, teachers, and students will be united this year in an effort to empower our students to be successful high school students. Reading and writing are essential to a student's success in high school. This cohort is dedicated to giving students the skills necessary to succeed in high school and beyond.

This web site is a tool to enable parents and students to know what is expected from week to week. We will also post handouts and useful links for varioius projects and assignments. Please let us know what we can do to make this a useful tool for everyone.
