I am Essie Dortch.  I will be teaching 8th Grade Pre-Algebra this school year.  I am excited about this Year and look forward to our interactions.  Plese be mindful of the "new normal" due to the Coronavirus.  There will be procedures put in place here at Howard Middle for the safety of faculty, staff, and students.  Indivduals choosing not to follow safety procedures will be disciplined.  

On my website, you will find the class syllabus which gives an overview of course content, general information about classroom procedures, and classwork/homework policies and listings.  Also, you will find infomation on "Distance Learning" (COVID 19).
