School Picture Day
Thursday, August 30th
|
|
|
We will be utilizing paperless progress reports beginning Thursday, September 6, 2018. This means students will no longer be receiving a paper progress report at the 4 ½, 9, and 13 ½ week points in the semester. Instead, students and parents will receive notification at the 4 ½, 9, and 13 ½ week marks that grades are ready to be viewed online.
Paper copies will be available only upon request. Final report cards at the end of each semester will continue to be printed and given to the students.
IMPORTANT: As we make this transition, you need to make sure you have activated your online profile in the parent portal of Infinite Campus. Also, you will want to download the Infinite Campus app to your smartphone or access Infinite Campus via a computer or tablet. This will allow for easy access to your child's progress and up-to-the-minute grading updates and push-notifications.
Progress Reports will be available
Thursday, September 6, 2018.

Biology Students Explore Overhydration
Ms. McIntosh's biology classes explored real-world examples of overhydration while conducting a lab that involved submerging eggs in different liquids and observing the changes in size and mass of the eggs. They were able to visualize the process of osmosis as the concentration of water in the eggs were altered.
