Judges will score on :

Display board rubric

Scientific Method components:

Problem Question Hypothesis. Materials. Procedure. Data Graph Results and Conclusion

Please note: through the guidance of myself and Mr. Puzio, we made it very clear that all Projects needed to be testable and not just a model. If it is only a model, with no proper data or graphing , points will be deducted.

and finally

Experiment

All of these components with judging will also be used for grading.

I would like to thank Mrs. Canal, Ms. Klein, Mrs. Miles, Mr. Kozemba and Ms. Ferrara for all the hard work in assisting and guiding the students these past few weeks. Without their commitment in assuring all student’s information and the components accuracy, this Science Fair would not be possible.

It’s that time again… summer is swiftly approaching and you need to think of Camp!!!

Below is the 2024 Art Camp flyer and the 2024 Pete Vasil Basketball camp flyer.

You can either print out and return or email me

Don’t wait for the last minute to register 🙂

permission slip 2

Parents please be advised that I have warned, lectured and preached to the children about today being the last day to submit any late work, even though the trimester ended on Friday.

I give every class and student time to complete work during class so this is really unacceptable and honestly, disrespectful to me as a teacher and you as a parent.

I am beyond frustrated over this and was hoping the students that are still missing work would have submitted their work after this weekend.

Please check Powerschool so you are not surprised when you see “0”s and “I”s on their report card.

My apologies if this sounds harsh but as I am sure you are pleading with your child to complete work, so am I.

Again, not every child is guilty of this but there are a good handful in the upper grades.

Thank you for your support on this matter and hoping next Trimester will bring a more positive ending.
