Students are learning about the difference between abiotic and biotic factors, identifying macroinvertebrates, and testing the water quality of the pond.
At the conclusion of the survey, students will be able to determine the factors affecting the water quality of the pond and how human activity can have a direct effect on the ecosystem.

The students have been working on several assignments this week. One of these is to create a repeat pattern, a process, they say, that helps them to unwind.
Another assignment is to create an original piece inspired by the Immaculate Heart College Art Department rules originally written by Sister Corita Kent. Several students gravitated toward Rule #6: Nothing is a mistake. There is no win and no fail. There is only make, and Rule #9: Be happy whenever you can manage it.

Organized by the School Counseling Department, exhibitors set up tables on the apron where students made contact with potential employers during TASC.
In addition to recruiters from the Air Force, Army, and Marines, students met with first responders like the Peterborough Fire Department and ambulance services.
RiverMead, NHBB, and Dunkin Donuts were also among the exhibitors.

After being greeted by Principal Heather McKillop on the apron, families proceeded to the main entrance where they followed COVID protocols that are required for entry into the school, including temperature checks.
Once inside, families could briefly meet with school counselors in the link before attending TASC where they received a copy of their students' daily schedules.
The remainder of the evening was spent in classrooms where parents could meet and interact with their children's teachers.
On the way out, the ConVal School Store provided an opportunity to buy some ConVal swag.
"I was grateful to meet new families and to see many familiar faces," Heather McKillop said after the event. "Anytime we can welcome parents and guardians to the building it is exciting, as we are one school community that truly cares about helping all of our students be successful."

An equation system is two or more equations that share variables, such as x + 2y = 6 and 3x - y = 11. One way this system can be solved is by graphing each equation. The point where the two lines cross is the solution to the system.
In this example that would be when x = 4 and y = 1, or the point on the graph (4,1). Rather than creating their graphs by hand, Algebra students can enter each equation into the calculators. The TI-Nspire produces neat, clear graphs with the precise intersection point labeled.
Equation systems are used to find the value of two variables at the same time. For example, suppose Skyler and Emily buy food from the same pizza restaurant. Emily buys 2 slices and 2 iced teas for $12. Skyler buys 4 slices and 1 iced tea for $18. How much did each pizza slice (x) and each iced tea (y) cost?
[Hint: 2x + 2y = 12, and 4x + y = 18] Solution: (4,2)
