This week brings the end of the Fluorocarbons & Ozone writing project, which will be due on Friday. Students will type up their final copies in class this week, and turn in their complete packets on Friday.

We will also (finally) continue our Genetics Unit by learning about Joe and the dilemma that he is facing related to genetic testing and Marfan Syndrome.

Don't forget that Wednesday is an Early Release Day, and Second Quarter Interims will go home on Friday. Also, look for more information from your child on Monday about our upcoming field trip to the IMAX theater downtown. We are also having our next Notebook Check on Friday, and students need to obtain a Parent Input before then.
