Dear Parents / Guardians,

Welcome to another school year! Let me introduce myself. My name is Aileen Finneran-Toback (that’s Ms. Toback to the students), and I am very excited about our upcoming year.

Seventh grade science is a challenging course that is made up of topics such as Environmental Science, Cells & Heredity, Evolution and Earth Science. The course is mostly hands-on, consisting of more than 50 experiments and demonstrations throughout the year. Each experiment is designed to provide the student with a strong foundation in scientific inquiry.

As an educator, I will do everything that I can to provide your child with a challenging and rewarding learning experience. Your child will be encouraged to actively participate in classroom activities, as these will be an integral part to their understanding of Life Science. I strongly feel that you and I are partners in your child’s education. In fact the partnership is really a three-way street: student, teacher and parent.

I have established a website at that will allow you and your child to view current assignments, project due dates, current vocabulary lists, etc. I have also provided some age appropriate science education links that should be useful to both you and your child as well. Please visit this site and register your email address to receive updates about all of the wonderful things we will be learning this year.

I am looking forward to working with your child this year. Please take a few moments to read the attached information regarding grading policies and laboratory safety. I know that by working together we will make this a successful and rewarding year

Regards,

Ms. Aileen Finneran-Toback
