STEM Academy @ The Park (SA@P)
Please visit this website throughout the year to read about the ongoing projects/activities your son/daughter is engaging in. This site will provide you with monthly newsletters, pictures from each class, updates for parent/students, as well as resources. Each curriculum (Principles of Biomedical Science, Introduction to Engineering & Principle of Engineering) is posted on its own Moodle site for teachers and students to communicate weekly lesson plans.
Students and parents if you have any questions concerning, grades, homework, labs or any issue you would like to discuss, please feel free to contact the teacher for the course or myself at Danielle.Ramos@pccsmail.net
I will do my best to return your call or email as promptly as possible. I am here for you, so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Students who commit to the STEM Academy @ The Park (SA@P) will take directed and focused steps toward competent and capable citizenship in a dynamic and technologydependent society. Anchored by the Project Lead the Way curriculum, the SA@P features two tracks: Biomedical Sciences and Pathways to Engineering.
In addition to a clear emphasis on studies in science, technology, engineering and math, students who enroll in SA@P will experience project-based learning, partnerships with international businesses located within close proximity to the school district, and opportunities for college credit.
