Eighth grade students have received their ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) review books. It is important to allocate time each week (specifically weekends) for preparation and review of materials that have been assigned in the book. Succes = effort; effort = success! Students will be exposed to upper level vocabulary daily in class. Students are expected to write the "fancy words" in their ISEE folders. These words are discussed as part of our daily warm up.
