Dear Parent or Guardian,
Hello and welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! I am looking forward to getting to know your 8th grader as we explore the nature of science. The mission of the ASI science department is to provide a quality laboratory-based science program that fosters a lifelong enjoyment of science while incorporating the Next Generation Science and Engineering Standards. We will be doing lots of exciting labs, projects, and hands-on activities. Students may obtain current or past classwork by logging into Google Classroom. In Google Classroom, students will find the daily agenda of assignments, class notes, review games, and other helpful links. On my website, I have linked the students' daily starter slide so parents may follow what is happening in the classroom. I look forward to making this year's science class an enjoyable experience for your child. Please email if you have any questions: lorisalazar@cusd.com
