Science Fair Grades

Hello House A Families!  Welcome Back!

Students were handed a packet with their science fair grades and judges' rubrics in class today.  We discussed the feedback/grades contained in the packet and discussed how this will show up on the T2 Report Card in a couple of weeks.  We also talked about making corrections and posted a reflection on the whole process to their Personalized Learning Plan (PLP.)  I've entered all grades into PowerSchool and they can be seen logging in using the student or parent login.  If you have any questions about how your student did, please email me at rdecicco@mymtsd-vt.org.  I would be happy to discuss this with you.

Students are highly encouraged to make corrections!  In many cases, simple corrections can have a big impact on their grades.  They will also need to make arrangements to bring their poster home or let me repurpose their boards.

We will begin a new unit on Force and Interactions starting tomorrow.
