Dear Students,

With the sudden closure of all schools across our region, we didn’t have the chance for a real goodbye or to discuss plans for how to keep things going outside of school.  My hope is that you will make the most of your time away from school and keep your brains active and engaged.

• Students who wish to improve current grades: Use Synergy to identify missing assignments, then locate those assignments here.  Complete the work, then email me a picture of what you have completed.  All missing work will be awarded a maximum of 60% credit. Email with any questions or to obtain copies of assignments that cannot be posted online.
• Students who wish to earn bonus credit: Contribute to the STEAM Punks section of this website.  Pick a topic, explore it in depth, then write up your findings into a post that can be linked to one of the STEAM sections.  Wondering how to begin?  Visit the post on Sleep.
• Students who wish to earn Honors credit: Complete the following learning enrichment opportunities.  Email Mr. Swart with any questions and send evidence of completed work by email or as a shared Google Doc (student-created, shared with Mr. Swart).
  • Week 27: Darwin’s Voyage and Biological Classification
  • Week 28: Relationships between Organisms
  • Week 29: Big History Project
  • Spring Break
  • Weeks 30 and 31: Evidence for Change
• Resources and information for students and families during the school closure:
  • Highline Public Schools – Closure Announcement
  • Meals for students during school closure
  • Need Internet access at home?

Stay well,

Mr. Swart
