Greetings Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year! My name is Jeff Majkowski and I am the 7th/8th Grade Language Arts instructor at Edgartown School. I am both very proud to be a part of the Martha’s Vineyard community. Over the past nine years I have taught various Language Arts and Social Studies classes to grades seven through twelve in the state of Hawai’i and Massachusetts. I have also served as a guidance counselor and college and career advisor. I have lived on island for a year, but still feel relatively new. I am always eager to learn more and build partnerships that will help guide our students towards becoming well rounded, critical thinkers that will contribute to our community.
This year we will focus on reading comprehension and writing skills that are outlined in the Massachusetts State Standards as well as the Common Core Standards. We will read both classic and contemporary texts and short stories, as well as compose a variety of genres of writing. My goal is to help your child progress towards college and career readiness skills that will be needed as they enter high school and beyond. At times, students will be expected to read and complete various assignments related to in class instruction independently and outside of school. My class website will be updated in a timely manner so you can follow what is happening in our class, along with the expectations for your student. We will also use Google classroom to complete assignments throughout the year.
I am happy to meet with you if you have any questions or concerns throughout the school year. I can be contacted most easily by email. It takes a community to raise a child, and I am excited to be part of the Martha’s Vineyard community. I look forward to learning as much from our students and you, as I hope they will learn from me. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about our classroom.
Let’s have a wonderful school year!
Warm Regards,
Jeff Majkowski
