State Exam

8th grade students will be taking the NYS Intermediate Science Test. The first component will be given in May. This portion consists of lab work. The second component, a written test, will be the first Monday in June.

Science Olympiad!

Students in grades 6-9 are invited to join the Chenango Forks Middle School Science Olympiad team. We meet on Thursdays in room 52. As we get closer to our February competition, there will be having additional meetings held on Fridays and Saturdays.

We can send 15 students in as a team- but we welcome others to help those 15 prepare for the competition! For more information about the competition, visit NYS Science Olympiad or Science Olympiad.

Room 52

I have been teaching Middle School science for over 12 years. Science has always been my passion. I have experience in grades 4 through 10, as well as experience as Instructor of Record at Binghamton University. I have two Master's degrees, both from Binghamton University, in Biological Science and Teaching Biological Science. I am also a NYS Master Teacher.

In addition to teaching, I love to work on my small homestead. I have several gardens where I grow vegetables in the summer. I raise chickens and turkeys at home, and have pigs my family cares for at a family farm. The farm is the home of the beef cattle, where I like to name the cows. My favorite baby I named Ferdinand, Ferdie for short.
