Tsunami 2004

We have finished watching the video(s) about the tsunami occurred during December 2004. There are many life lessons to be learned from this sad event.

Always be observant of your surroundings. Don't take for granted what you have today, because it can easily be gone tomorrow.

Scheduling Class for Fall 2014 / Open House

Today students selected their classes for the first year of high school. Classes will not be confirmed until parents sign the forecasting paper. This paper that students filled out is being held at North High School.

North is hosting an open house next Tuesday (2/25) from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM. Go and meet your teachers for next year. Find out what you will be doing in the classes you selected. This is a great opportunity to ask now what to expect for the school year.

PARENTS: Your signature is required on the blue slip (class forecasting) before your child's selections will be finalized.

You are being to select your future. Choose classes that will open doors of opportunity for you. :)

Spring Break Quake 1993

Oregon is NOT immune to earthquakes. On March 25, 1993, Oregon registered a 5.6 magnitude earthquake (Mercalli intensity scale) that occurred at 5:34 AM. It was given the title "Scotts Mills". Visit this page to read more information about it. It happened as a result of a reverse fault that is referred to  in this article or with pictures and greater detail in this article.

State Testing & Earbuds

On Wednesday (2/5) and (2/12), we will be meeting out in the portables, room 132. Please remember to bring your earbuds with you, since not all of the headsets are in working condition.

During class, you will be:
1. Practicing logging on to the computers to ensure that your U/P are correct.
2. Using the program "Study Jams" to prep you for the upcoming state test that covers three years of testing material from 6th, 7th and to present day.

Visit Mr. Law's page for the various sections to be reviewed. Visit these pages as many times as possible prior to our testing in April so that you are prepared. Do not wait to the last minute to start reviewing. You will only be able to retain so much information if you attempt to cram information in at the last minute.

Interesting Videos

During class, there are both short and long movie clips that we will be watching to help us better understand about plate tectonics and Earth. Feel free to go to the class You Tube channel to either review or get ahead of the other classes.

I am currently working on another project for us. Stay tuned!

Remind 101

If you are interested in receiving a text message or email from Remind 101 , letting you know when to study for a test or to bring your spiral to class, you may sign up at any time. This is a VERY safe program.
  • Teachers never see students' phone numbers. Students never see theirs.
  • Students and parents join by sending a text message. No computer needed.
  • As a safety precaution, only one-way messaging is permitted, allowing teachers to send updates and reminders without having to worry about managing another inbox.
  • Great for parent teacher communication: improve parental engagement at the primary school, elementary school, high school or college level.
  • Inclusive classroom communication: students and parents who cannot receive text message notifications may opt in to receive their teachers messages via email.
