Help Needed: 9th Grade Physics

/

Dear ICE Community,

9th Grade Physics classes will spend Cycle 4 designing an electronic device to assist users with accessibility constraints in their daily lives. 

We are seeking speakers who have experience with accessibility concerns to provide insight to our community about common challenges that exist in their lives or in the lives of those they work with. We view this topic as very broad and would like as many perspectives and voices to participate as possible, so do not hesitate to ask if you would like further clarification.

If you or someone you know is interested and available to meet with the 9th grade from late February through mid May, please contact Sammi or have them contact her directly.

Thank you!
-Sammi and Daniel Z

ICE PTA Meeting

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR A VERY SPECIAL PTA MEETING
ICE PAC is hosting the Feb 12 PTA Meeting (6 PM, RM 518). If you attended the January PTA meeting, you heard Pete mention that ICE is part of a network of schools known as the "Consortium." We are pleased to announce that Ann Cook, one of the founders of the New York Performance Standards Consortium, will be our special guest at this meeting. Ann is whip smart, a font of knowledge, and very engaging; you'll definitely want to hear her speak and ask her questions. In addition, we will have a couple of ICE teachers on hand and maybe even a student or two to talk about how teaching and learning in a Consortium school helps to cultivate the individual's interest and passion and is a natural way to institute "culturally responsive education." All parents welcome, but middle school parents especially encouraged to attend.
