The Campus High School will have parent/teacher conferences on Friday, October 7, 2022, from 8:00-2:30 PM on the North Campus. You will have the opportunity to sign-up for a 10-minute time slot with each teacher you wish to conference with. Please check which teachers your student has so you sign up for the correct person. You will receive an email with the sign-in link and more information next week.

Biology and Chemistry students have started the year exploring all aspects of Scientific Inquiry. Honors Biology students have begun their extensive Zoo Exhibit Design Project. They will learn about the diverse needs of zoos by identifying an exhibit that would be enjoyed by zoo-goers and would fulfill the needs of the animals in the enclosure in a safe, sustainable fashion. They must choose an animal or habitat being threatened and create a conservation plan for the animal(s) that will live there. They will present their final design proposal to an audience of conservation groups, zookeepers, and people who frequent the zoo. They started their background research through a field trip to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Researching Wildlife conservation, and exploring animal adaptations through a visit from the local Zoomobile Edventure team. I can’t wait to see where our students go with this project. Both Chemistry and Honors Chemistry students are exploring chemistry through the lens of a forensic investigation/crime scene Project over the next month. Honors Chemistry students will use their knowledge of density to design an experiment that will provide the first clues in their forensic investigation. In addition, students will use gas laws to determine details and further evidence.. Non-STEM chemistry students will also be exploring different aspects of chemistry through a crime scene investigation. Students will test a child’s bottle to determine if it contains “just” water. They will then use the evidence they uncover to decide if a crime has been committed. All students will work in collaborative teams and learn to apply broad science concepts to real-world situations. As a culminating activity, all blended chemistry students will be invited on a field trip to the Colorado Springs Metro Crime Lab to learn about the connections between science and community law enforcement careers.

Coding 1 students are utilizing print input statements to start their journey of learning python. Drone students have assembled their remotes and used code to build flight plans. Welcome to all our new and returning families. Please reach out if you have any questions regarding computer science and digital elective courses.

I look forward to a great school year!

We will enjoy popcorn, pizza, and The Sandlot! If you plan to eat pizza, please bring $5 to help us cover the cost.
