Middle School: Teachers: Jackson, Chad

Syllabus for 7th grade health

by Chad Jackson

August 18, 2008

Dear Seventh Grade Parents:

 

We are requiring a formal health class for all our seventh grade students. With the physical and emotional changes adolescent students encounter, the need for the information and support is great. I will be your child’s primary instructor. A course outline is listed below. If you wish to preview materials, ask questions, or desire that your child not participate in lessons on a specific topic, feel free to contact Mr. Jackson, Mr. John Hamon, Principal, or stop by the middle school office.

 

Sincerely,

 

Chad Jackson
