CLASSROOM INFORMATION:

(Click on blue underlined text for more information)

STUDENT INFORMATION PACKET: This packet explains the organizational format and expectations for students in all classes. It explains grading procedures, and it has a details outline showing notebook organization.

SPECIAL PROJECTS and POINTS IN THE BANK: Students are expected to complete projects on their own during time outside of class. Students are encouraged to start completing projects as soon as the term gets underway. If an excused absence occurs, and an assignment does not involve the text, a worksheet or test, special project points may be the only way to make up points missed during the absence. However, the time allowed for make-up work is limited, and if special project points are needed, it is convenient to have points already stored up in a student's SPECIAL PROJECTS POINTS BANK to use as points for the make-up work.

FIELD TRIPS:

(For all students in Mr. Holm's classes)

BODENBURG BUTTE, RIVER EROSION AND FOSSIL HUNTING FIELD TRIP. Scheduled for Saturday April 28, 2001. Check the following links for more information: Field Trip Information Outline, and the Parent Consent Form.

Crow Pass Hike: mother nature provided us with spectacular weather over two weekends: Saturday September 9th and 16th, 2000. Because of the large turnout the field trip was split into two sessions. In all 57 people took part in the hikes to study the glacial features, the gold placer and hard rock mining, and just the sheer beauty of the natural environment.

ASTRONOMY TELESCOPE VIEWING SCHEDULE: Check here after 6PM to confirm evening telescope setup location and viewing times. Our first viewing session took place December 14th, 2000, when we finally had decent clear viewing conditions. We saw spectacular views of Saturn and Jupiter, even the cloud bands on the face of Jupiter. Orion's Nebula is now visible early in the evenings.
