    Entering eighth grade is a milestone in your life and we are anticipating a fun and exciting year with you. As you know, Sierra Verde is a STEAM Academy with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics.  The eighth grade team is looking forward to providing all of your academic needs this year.  Last year, we set the bar high for the eighth grade students and we know that you will outpace their accomplishments.  Our goal is for every eighth grade student to think critically and be prepared for high school.  You have many talents and we look forward to seeing all of your successes.

    Throughout the year, you can find out more information about 8th grade by reading our weekly newsletters.  Our primary goal as educators is to assist you in attaining all your educational goals and aspirations.  We are here to help you in whatever way we can.  Viper students are our #1 priority!

     

    We look forward to having a successful year with every student and his/her family.  It is an honor and a pleasure to have your trust and partnership, as we welcome your ideas and participation.  Please feel free to contact us if you have an important need. Together we will find success, make good memories, and have fun in the process.
