Summary:
We are excited to announce that the Science Materials Committee has completed a review of available curriculum and resources to adopt for grades 6-8. After reviewing all the submitted programs, the committee has selected two finalists. There will be a public open house for any educators or parents interested in previewing the materials.
The review committee included science teachers from grades 6-8, parents, and content area specialists.
