I will not be at school from Wednesday 10/1 - Monday 10/6. I will be on a tanner crab survey with the AK Dept. of Fish and Game. This is part of an outreach effort by Fish and Game to bring real science back to the classroom. This will be a unique opportunity for students on my return. Please direct any questions to Mr. Northcutt.

I have also sent out Parent-Teacher Conference Schedule times. Please ask your student about the form and send it back.
