Students can do one of four different projects for PRISM this year. They can complete a portfolio, investigation, collection, or invention. All the information you need is in the PRISM handbook that is available for download on the district website. Under the students’ tab click on PRISM to access the site. If you want a printed copy, please check the box for one on the student entry form. PRISM boxes can be purchased from the school for $3. If your child is going to do a PRISM project, please send in your entry form or notify their teacher and send in $3 for the display box. PRISM night will be held here at Sappington on Thursday, February 23 from 4:00 -6:00. Families can come and observe all of the projects, get their certificate and take home their project that evening.
Prism is not mandatory in fourth grade, but encouraged. Fourth grade science teachers will be reviewing the projects and students can receive up to 10 points of extra credit towards their science grade. Please do not hesitate to call and ask any of the fourth grade teachers about the projects. We look forward to seeing what great ideas your students choose to investigate.
