We’re so glad you’re interested in participating in the SciNOW club! This is a special club for those who want to learn more about Science. Members of the SciNOW club must also be responsible, have good conduct and good grades in each of their classes.
WHO:
The SciNOW Club is open to any 4th or 5th grader who:
- Wants to learn more about science
- Maintains a grade of 75 in all subjects—no exceptions!
- Has good conduct (E or S) in all classes
- Has no discipline referrals
- Can be a role model for all other students on campus
- May want to compete in science competitions in middle and/or high school
- Completes the science questionnaire with sincerity.
The atmosphere of the SciNOW Club must be free from disruptions. Students who are not serious about science may take time away from those students who really want to be there. Students who cannot maintain these standards will be removed from the club and will not be able to rejoin.
**The SciNOW Club will be limited to 15-30 students who turn in their completed application and meet all of the above criteria. We wish that every student who shows interest in science could belong to the SciNOW Club but that is not possible at this time. So, the members must meet ALL criteria. Sorry, NO EXCEPTIONS.
WHAT:
Members of the SciNOW Club will have the opportunity to:
- Participate in group science enrichment activities
- Enhance their knowledge and curiosity about science
- Be better prepared to participate in science competitions in middle and high school
- Conduct cool experiments and enhance their knowledge of the scientific method
WHEN/WHERE:
The SciNOW Club will meet every other week of each month from 3:10-4:40. Schedules will be given out once names have been released. Members are expected to have reliable transportation to pick them up on time each week. Students should be picked up in the front of the school. Students will not be allowed to walk home alone. (More information about Science club activities will be sent to students and parents before the first club meeting.)
WHY:
The purpose of the SciNOW club is to provide an opportunity for your child to participate in science learning and exploration in a smaller, structured, yet grade-free environment.
