Note to Parents:
Hello and welcome to the parents section! I update the site frequently with updated news and information for my parents to stay informed about what’s happening in class and of course new initiatives.
Our STEM class is unique in that we cover content across a variety of subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Physics) in order to prepare students for the new age. In STEM, students grades are based on radically different principles from the standard classroom, due to its nature and structure.
For example, 6th grade hands on projects are graded based on the amount of detail documented on their approach to solve an issue. Since they are not graded on whether their idea succeeds or fails (as that would discourage them from trying to innovate), it allows students to think differently and take risks, which is what STEM is all about!
