Dear Parents,
Thank you to those of you who joined us this evening for our STEM Challenge Parent Q&A session.
We will be extending the project deadline to November 19th. At that time, students must submit their poster board along with their demo/model or product to their science teacher. Students who submit their project on-time, tomorrow Nov. 13th, will receive extra credit.
Please make sure to coach your student to communicate with their teacher if they are experiencing any challenges within their group, especially if other members are not participating fully or contributing to the project. As a reminder, students will complete peer evaluations, and grades will reflect each student’s individual contribution. Although this is a group project, every student is responsible for their assigned part.
Thank you again for your support and feedback. We look forward to reviewing the final presentations on November 20th.
