A Very Humid Second Week of School

There is a Free Dress Day tomorrow... students can where shorts; this was a gift from Father because it is so hot.  Also, water bottles are permitted tomorrow too. Our first all school Mass is tomorrow as well.  There is no school Friday (30th) or Monday (Labor Day).  Have a great holiday and we will see everyone back in September.  Go Blue! Beat CMU!

First Week of School

We are on the third day of school with Parent Orientation tomorrow and after many schedule changes, new student additions I think we are all getting settled and ready for the new school year.  There are a couple things I need to mention: my syllabus is on Edline under Content as well as the science experiment presentation guidelines.  I have made a few slight changes since last year so make sure you look them over.  Also, my first Newsletters will start going out the week after Labor Day Weekend and the Study Skills Workshops will start then too.

Science Experiment Presentations

All 7th & 8th grade students will be required to sign up for two science experiments within the school year (one per semester).  These experiments will also include a Lab Report where the Scientific Method must be followed.  They will normally occur every Friday however there are a few Thursdays and one Wednesday on the yellow poster board calendar that is always visible in the Lab. Be ready to sign-up for your dates the first week of school.  The first Lab Friday is September 6th.
