Dear Junior High Students and Families,
Welcome! I am looking forward to a year of investigation, problem-solving and science adventure! Attached you will find the science curriculum from the Diocese of Oakland a long with the state's Next Generation Science Standards. As our catalyst for discovery, we will be using the Full Option Science System (FOSS) curriculum in all grade levels. Feel free to read through them to see what students are expected to learn. If you have any questions, please email me at ssimonich@csdo.org.
