Life Science
Landstown Middle School
What a great start to the year!
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.
NEW! Virtual Learning Day
Schools will be closed for students October 8, 2018. 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 be asked in a survey next week if they will be able to complete it online or if they need a packet instead.
