Welcome to Earth Science 2017-18!!!!!

Hello Parents and Students!

I am so excited to welcome you to Earth Science!  Our class meets from 2:00-2:48 M, T, TH, and FR.  Our Wednesday is somewhat different due to Mass.  We will meet from 2:10-2:48.

I am really looking forward to this year.  I can tell, just from meeting with my students (you) on the first day, that it will be a fun, exciting year! :)

I am attaching a course syllabus for you to have online.  This explains the course, and you will be receiving information from me as the year progresses.  Study Guides are sent out via blogs and Parent Communications.  The children receive a hard copy.  I try to distribute them about a week before a test so that the children can begin studying.  It is best not to wait until the night before to prepare for a test, as there is a lot of information being covered.  Please read through the course syllabus so you are aware of grading and policies.

I am available to you at any time.  Please feel free to contact me!  Blessings and happiness this school year!

Mrs. Stafford

PLEASE make it a point to contact me if you are having difficulty with your homework.  Not doing homework is unacceptable when I am available to help you. I may be reached on my cell phone until 9:00 p.m. and expect you to let me know if you are having difficulty so I may either help you over the phone or schedule a time for you to meet with me for help.  My number is 527-0868.  I may also be reached through e-mail at bstafford@allsaintsba.com.  Also, please visit our “6.3 Earth Science Blog” on the All Saints website.  It will highlight what we are doing in class.

Best of luck for a great school year!
