Announcements for Science Class
6th Grade Health Unit:
In your 3rd Term Report Card, you received a letter from the FRMS Science Department laying out the topics for Health and Human Sexuality that will begin in May. Like many of the other changes that have happened when we transitioned to online learning, those topics have also changed. In 6th grade the Health and Safety Topics that will be covered this spring will be:
- Staying Safe Online
- Personal Hygiene
- Substance Abuse
- Infectious Diseases, Noninfectious Diseases, & Hand washing
- Wearing Sunscreen & Staying Hydrated
K-State GROW/EXCITE Virtual Summer Camp:
This year's camp will be open to the first 100 people who sign up; other interested participants will be placed on a waiting list. Registration closes on May 22. Click here for more information. There is also a FAQ form attached below.
These Summer Workshops are designed to be exploration events that expose and increase girls' interest in STEM disciplines. From June 1-5, K-State faculty, staff and students will lead live interactive sessions such as hands-on activity demonstrations, lab tours, career chats and more. KAWSE staff will also provide daily interactions, such as morning/afternoon check-ins and a few fun (optional) afternoon activities like trivia night. From June 6-12, pre-recorded camp materials will be accessible for students to browse at their own pace. We'll be using Canvas and Zoom as our platforms, both of which can be accessed using a computer, tablet or smart phone. Questions about the virtual camp can be sent to the KAWSE staff at kawse@ksu.edu.
There are scholarships available to cover the cost of student registrations. This funding is made possible thanks to the support of our partners, so it is limited. However, we anticipate being able to cover the cost of all students who register. Use the following link to register for the event: https://kstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_803N0qAm94Kr5VX.
Dear Students and Families,
We hope you all are doing well in this new learning process.
We want you to know that Team 6 Blue Teachers are here for you, as we are in this together. As you begin to log into your Schoology Courses and complete you assignments please remember that you are able to email and meet within the your scheduled Live Sessions, with your teachers in order to get clarification and ask questions.
Please verify that your class schedule in Skyward matches your Courses in Schoology. Also, constantly begin to check your email in Outlook, messages in Skyward, and your weekly assignments in Schoology. In order to help you keep track it would be a good idea if you use your School Agenda/Planner to write in your weekly assignments and due dates.
Again, if you have any questions please email your teachers.
We miss you!
Schoolwide Grading Expectations
You will have 1 graded assignment per class each week (20% grade) and a MAXIMUM of 2 assessments per a class for the term (80% grades)
