Can you help with the SCIENCE OLYMPIAD?

Middle School Dean, Mr. Jackson, is looking for a parent or a team of parents with an interest in Science!  He needs help specifically with Science Olympiad!  There is a training session that we would send the point person to, to get more direct instruction on how to support Science Olympiad at the school.

Science Olympiad is a regional, state and nationwide competition for middle school and high school students.
The students compete based on their knowledge of science and on their skill in applying problem solving to hands-on activities and labs.
At SCA we offer Science Olympiad as an afternoon year-long elective class.  Currently we have 22 students (mix of 7th and 8th grade).
The class meets every day from 2:45-3:25pm in room 216.
We are continuing our search for a 7th/8th grade science teacher, who would typically lead this elective class.
 
In the interim we are looking for an interested parent to help with the following aspects of Science Olympiad:
*Be the point person for Science Olympiad coaching and planning
*Attend the Coach’s conference in Raleigh Oct. 9-10 (Oct. 9th is optional)
*Plan the weekly lessons/ activities for the science Olympiad class (40min class meets 5 times a week)
*Determine what materials are needed for the activities
*Get the word out to parents of the students in the class to donate materials
*Work with Kim Jackson to purchase any needed materials
*We do have long-term substitute teachers in place who can deliver the science Olympiad lessons and work with the students, a parent coach would not need to teach the class (though it would be great if they could have input from time to time and would be welcome to be a part of the class as much as possible).
 
 
Here is the link that describes the coach’s conference Oct. 9-10, though it looks like the 9th is optional.
 
The coach who attends would register online with Kim Jackson’s assistance so we could cover the cost.

If you are interested, please contact Matt Jackson at 98.mjackson@nhaschools.com
