Life Science
Landstown Middle School
What a great start to the year!
Please ask your student to explain the "3 Rs" that we use at Landstown. They should be able to give you examples of what each one should look like or sound like in our science classes.
At Landstown, we are...
- Respectful
- Responsible
- Ready to Learn
Reminders!
Please RETURN any forms you might still have. Once I have all forms, I can check them off my to-do list!
Students should be writing their assignments in their planners daily at the beginning of class. Ask them to show this to you!
Ask your child to sit down and log into Schoology. There you will see the work we've been doing in class.
Virtual Learning Day
Schools will be closed for students October 14, 2019. VBCPS has deemed this day a “virtual learning” day.
Our Life Science Virtual Learning lesson has been designed so students who do not have internet access at home will still be able to complete the assignment by picking up a packet in class.
Please discuss internet options with your child because they will need to let their teacher know if they need the packet instead of the online option.
