Dear Parents and students,

It’s back to the grind!  It took a few days for all the students and teachers to wipe the sleep from their eyes after winter break and wake up but now we are ready for a strong quarter.  The AP Bio students have one unit left in the curriculum.  Then we will start over.  This will give them the opportunity to review what they learned in time to take the “real” test.  This class is a joy to be a part of.  Each day your students are full of life and I am always inspired by their love for learning.

Science Fair Update:

Next week your student’s Science Fair Paper is DUE!  After this they will begin working on their powerpoints in preparation for the class presentations.  Please check in on them and see how they are doing!

The science fair will be virtual this year.  That means we will be using powerpoint and potentially video instead of the elaborately decorated boards. Please keep this in mind before you spend the money!

A website has been produced which has all the available information on the Science Fair and STEM Fest for this year. There are links to the directions and templates for the the science fair template as well as the templates for the research papers on the site.
