Note to students: Several students have nut allergies, so please do not eat nuts in the classroom or bring nuts into the room in unsealed packages. This applies to all types of nuts, in all grades and blocks. It's important that we're all careful to keep the classroom nut-free. Thank you!
It is ok to eat other types of snacks at appropriate times, but no nuts (no food during the main instructional part of lesson, or on days when chemistry or biology labs are taking place in the room, but it is ok to have a snack during work-time).

Assessment and reporting throughout the school year:
Students and parents/guardians can monitor student progress by checking their Science 9 course marks on their MyEd account (https://myeducation.gov.bc.ca/aspen/logon.do). The “categories” listed on MyEd are the 6 Curricular Competencies for Science 9 (https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum/science/9/core).
Specific learning activities (assignments, tests, projects, activities, etc) will be added to MyEd after the teacher has assessed items submitted by students.
The following 3 letter codes are used to represent achievement levels on the Proficiency Scale:
Proficiency Scale: 3 letter code in MyEd
