How to Find and Use the Newsletters

The newsletters will be added to the Middle School Course page this fall. You can also find them linked on each Lesson Guide under "Plan Your Unit".

To use the newsletters, make a copy and customize any portions highlighted in yellow. Then, include them in the communications you send home to students’ families.
