Earth Science Agenda & Homework

           

Students are required to have an agenda book (assignment planner) for my science classes. Upon entering the classroom students will copy the week's due dates into their agenda on the appropriate day. Planners will be checked on Fridays. The same information can also be found written on the whiteboard in Mrs. Powers' room and on this website.  Class notes are uploaded at the end of each week. Please feel free to e-mail Mrs. Powers if you have questions about what you see on this site. 

        • Missing notes from being absent?  Visit Mrs. Powers notebook page
        • Misplaced your handouts?  Visit Mrs. Powers notebook or agenda page.
        • Need extra help?  Visit the links page.
