Parent Letter

We are starting a chapter in Science that focuses on the “theory” of evolution. We will also be discussing creationism as a valid opinion as well. I encourage you to read Chapter 11 before your child does. If you are uncomfortable with any content, or are concerned about it’s presentation, please call me so that we can discuss this. I would be glad to work with you on assignment adaptations if you feel this is needed. I have reserved 1-2 pm next Wednesday for meetings regarding this topic. Thanks so much for your continued support!
