Gizmos is an interactive, inquiry-based STEM and Science simulation program designed to engage students in science. It allows students to explore concepts, analyze data, and dive deeper into topics that might not be possible in a traditional science classroom. We use Gizmos in grades 5-12 here in ABSS.
Students who ride bus 13, 343, and those who live on Chapel Hill Rd who have been riding with Mr. Cash this week, will not be leaving school until around 3:45 today. Students will get home much later than normal. We apologize for the inconvenience.
