Physical Science Parent Letter

 

Dear Parent and/or Guardian,

 

          I am very pleased to have your son/daughter in my Physical Science class.  The attached course information and lab safety rules have been discussed in class. I would appreciate it if you could take the time to read this information, discuss your expectations with your child, and fill in the bottom portion of this form with contact information and returning it with your child tomorrow.

 

          Many interesting and exciting topics will be discussed and investigated in this class such as; matter, motion, energy, the atom, chemical reactions, and the solar system.  Each of these topics correspond directly to the 8th grade California Science Content Standards. Throughout the year your child will be doing the following in this class; reading, writing, taking notes, investigating, and viewing videos about the above listed topics.  Most of the videos come from the curriculum publisher but I will add October Sky and Apollo 13 to the curriculum during the solar system unit.  You are welcome to preview any curricular materials that you may have questions and or concerns about.  You are also welcome to call and/or visit the classroom to discuss your child’s progress at any time.  Remember that I am here to help your child SUCCEED!

 

          I look forward to meeting you at Back to School night in which you will soon be receiving an invitation.  Thank you for your interest and support.

 

Thank you, Mrs. Crawford, OJHS 8th grade Physical Science Instructor

My son/daughter and I have read and understand the required information for the Physical Science Class.  I understand that I will receive a progress report EACH WEEK for the entire school year to keep track of my child’s grade.
