What's happening in Science

Mr. Mitchell's science class took a different approach for learning "Plate Tectonics". Students were given a check list of different learning opportunities and students were given the ability to choose how they learned the information. The students had 10 school days or 2.5 weeks to complete the chapter and take the test. Mr. Mitchell felt students did an outstanding job of self monitoring and worked well for the entire assignment.
The standards covered in this unit were:
8-9.ES.1.1.2 Apply the concepts of order and organization to a given system.
8-9.ES.1.2.2 Develop models to explain concepts or systems.
8-9.ES.1.6.4 Formulate scientific explanations and models using logic and evidence.
8-9.ES.4.2.1 Explain the internal energy sources of the earth

Did you get a letter for your Middle School student?

In your mailbox last week, you should have received a letter with your students Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) data.

Classroom teachers and the ISAT prep teams developed goals for each student in all subject areas. Check out how your child has done the last two years and where we expect them to be this year! Goals are ambitious and achievable. Ask your child about the goals and how they are going to achieve them!

Starting April 9th, all Middle School students will begin taking the ISAT in the areas of Reading, Language Usage and Math.

What is your High School student doing from 3:30-4:00?

They can be in 1 of 5 places.

1) Study Hall with Mrs. Buckway
2) Study Hall with Mrs. Lewis
3) Music opportunities with Ms. LeBeau
4) Gym/Weight Room with Mr. Chapman
5) or home

In preparation for spring testing, students will be benchmark tested in Reading, Math and Language Usage. If the student does not meet proficiency they will be assigned a class from 3:30 to 4:00. This is an opportunity for students to get individualized or small group assistance.
