Welcome Back to School!

I am excited to meet you!  8th grade science is super fun and I think you will like it.  Here is your first assignment-don't worry it is easy. 

1)  You and a parent or guardian need to go over my disclosure document (Due August 22) .  If you prefer a paper copy you can get one from me during class and then you can have your parent email me or send a note stating that you went over the disclosure together.  Below is my disclosure document in a google form.  It will gather your name and class information so you can get credit for this assignment.
