Welcome Back!

Welcome, students and parents, to a new school year in room 409! We are starting the new 2019-2020 school year on Monday, August 12.  I am looking forward to our shared adventures and investigations this year.

For the first week, we will be getting to know each other and how things work in the classroom.  The two graded assignments will be the same for all classes: 

1) Read, sign, and return the syllabus.
2) Read, sign, and return the lab safety contract.  

These two documents are essential for your success.  The syllabus contains classroom policies such as makeups, absences, late work, and discipline. The lab safety contract must be signed prior to lab work being done, which will result in a loss of credit if not completed.

If you lose these documents, you can access them on the home page for your course.  The signature pages must be signed and returned by Friday.  

Please visit your course homepage to get to know what you will be studying this year, and familiarize yourself with the resources, as well as the calendar.  More will open up as we move through each unit.  

Keep watch on the Periodic Yay for updates, and to know what we will be doing each week.  This blog is fairly new, and my goal is to update it weekly, though that may change with necessity.

Check out the "Meet the Teacher" page to see who you (or your student) will be spending the year with. And keep an eye out for "Easter Eggs."
