STAR test in May – Second
semester final is the
first week of May to
prepare for STAR.

6. Class Procedures
• Homework: About twice a week – I do allow late work for fewer points.
• Help: I am available in the mornings and after school to meet
with parents and students.
• Tests: Mostly Short Answer – Students may retake tests to earn up to an 80%.
• Labs: Students will participate in labs many times per week. Labs emphasize
writing and using data to support a conclusion.
• Projects: Research and debates on Elements and
Astronomy, Mousetrap Cars at the end of the year, Student
designed / open-ended labs.

7. High School
• In the spring, I will recommend students for
based on
grades in Science ( 93%+) and Language Arts
(90%+ or advanced reading level). Students
use a college level textbook and have to be
very self-motivated.
– I
encourage all families to look into this
program at AHS (and at CHS).
