Science Calendar 2019-2020

Announcement

This Thursday we will have student-led conferences!  This means students will lead their families through their work in each of their classes, and teachers will be around to help answer any questions.  In science, there is a portfolio for each student and their assessments and work so far, in addition to the work in their science notebook.
