**************************************************************************

Science Projects:

Students placed in advanced or accelerated science classes are required to complete a science fair type project. Please look at your child's schedule for an "ADV" (advanced) next to the class name. This means your child scored a "3" or above on the most recent Reading FCAT test, and was placed accordingly.

We will work on these projects, step by step, from the beginning of September through January. Students will receive a time line of when parts of the project are due as well as information sheets on how to complete a project successfully. We will be following the guidelines outlined by the Northeast Florida Regional Science and Engineering Fair.  www.nefrsef.org

I look forward to meeting you all on August 24th!!
