🔬🧪 Our 8th Grade Advanced Science students brought science to life today with the Iodine Starch Lab!
In this experiment, students observed diffusion in action. Iodine molecules were able to pass through a semi-permeable bag and react with starch inside, turning it a blue-black color. Starch molecules, being too large, could not pass through—giving students a clear, hands-on demonstration of how molecules move across membranes.
Amazing job to our young scientists for exploring the processes that happen every day inside living cells! 🌟

🤒 Sickness is already going around our schools, and flu season hasn’t even started yet!
To help keep all students healthy and learning, please review the guide below for when your child should stay home and when they’re ready to return.
✅ Staying home when sick prevents germs from spreading and helps your child recover faster.
✅ Returning at the right time means fewer missed days and a healthier school community.
Thank you for working with us to keep our schools safe and healthy for everyone! 💙
