Science HELP!
Science books will NOT be issued this year to each individual student. There is a class set of the textbooks in the classroom and they are available for checkout at the end of the day. If your child requires a textbook at home, he/she may ask Mr. Goerner to check one out to him/her individually. The textbook IS available online. Go to the webpage http://glencoe.com/ose and the access code is D9D6B45D7B.
Mrs. Brown is available to help with an assignment, tutor, provide extra time with the teacher, etc. each morning, Monday through Thursday, starting at 7:45 AM. She loves science and she loves helping students! If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Brown.
