How do I contact you?

Email me at -- jmpomeroy@caddo.k12.la.us -- and I will do my best to get 
back with you within a day.

Call the CMM office at 868-6588 and leave a message with the wonderful folks
who answer.  I check my school mailbox each morning, during lunch and during 
my planning time.

How can I see my grade?

Click on the Grades link to get to the secure entry page.
Type in: Last name, First name  --  Use upper and lower case, exactly the 
way I've recorded it in my gradebook. Remember to put a comma and a space 
after your last name before typing in your first name.  
Then Student ID number  --  Seven digits (put in the beginning 0) This 
is the same as the number you use for lunch in the cafeteria.

Is tutoring available?

Students may come by after school Monday & Tuesday -- remember to arrange for
transportation home.  I will be glad to set up other times, as needed.
Students may check with me about getting a pass to come in before school.
An After-School Review will be available the day before any major test.

How do I pick out an idea for a Science Fair project?

  First of all, try to figure out what you like or are interested in; then 
we'll try to build a project around that.  You'll be working with this for 5 
to 7 months (if you go to State -- Longer if you go for Nationals), so you 
might as well work with something you can potentially enjoy.
  Then, do some research to narrow down your topic.  Books, magazines, the 
internet, family, friends & acquaintances.  Check out my links page for some 
helpful sites.  Talk to me.  I might be able to help you get narrowed down 
or focused.

Does everyone have to do a Science Fair project?

All students in Advance Earth Science (Periods 1, 3 & 4) are required to 
complete a project.  Information, guidelines and incremental deadlines will 
be given out by the end of August.  Any child in Enriched Earth Science may 
also do a project to enter into the competition.  Let me know what the 
project will be before you head off for the winter break.  This will give us a
chance to discuss what you are doing and to make sure there is space reserved
at the CMM Science Fair.  Get with me about what is needed.
