Mr. Rise - Landing Page

Hello and welcome, everyone, to the 2023-2024 school year!  I am excited to be at the NEW Sacajawea Middle School doing what I love, which is working with young people and helping to foster a life-long love of science.  

The main purpose of this website is to...

• Tell you a little bit about myself (i.e., teacher information)
• Provide you with details about our class and how it operates (i.e., class syllabus)
• Provide you with a calendar of class activities, homework, and/or reminders (i.e., planner/calendar)
• Provide you with a description of the digital resources available to you throughout the year (i.e., digital resources)

Please click on the appropriate link (at the top of this page or to the left) to navigate to each of these resources.  

In addition, please read the 'Materials Needed' section below to know what supplies to bring to class each day.

The following materials are needed for Science class: 

• Mead-Style Composition Book (I apologize if you're getting this information late!  Unfortunately, the 'School Supply List' sent out to parents specified a 9x11 spiral notebook.  Due to the new curriculum being implemented this year, the 7th Grade Science Team has decided to go with something cheaper and more portable, instead (hence, the composition book).  GOOD NEWS!  Your teacher should have extras for anyone who doesn't have one!
•  
• Clear Scotch Tape (one or two hand-held dispensers should get you through the year)
•  
• Mechanical or Wooden Pencils and Erasers

~Optional, but useful, supplies include colored pencils and markers, a hand-held pencil sharpener, and a basic 4-function or scientific calculator.  These and other items can be stored at home, in a zipper-pouch, and/or in your locker until needed.~
