Elginburg Public School - Mr. Bush - Grade 7/8
About This Website
This is website is for students and parents of the Grade 7 & 8 classes at Elginburg Public School. I will update this site daily with homework assignments, important dates, and other information about the class and school.
Homework- Students have homework each evening.
Is there no homework listed? Are you done the assigned work?
Homework also involves reviewing your old notes and your textbook.
This is a great way to reinforce the learning done in class.
Need extra help? Need more time to finish your work?
Help is available every morning between 8:00 - 9:00am, and most recesses.
