In PLTW Gateway: Medical Detectives we are currently learning about microorganisms and how they affect the human body. Last Wednesday through Friday the students conducted a bacteria experiment to test which antibacterial tablet works best for their fictitious patient. The students were very excited about plating, watching the bacteria grow, and seeing the antibacterial tablets working to fight off the bacteria.

The South Carolina Department of Education purchased and provided Berkeley County School District and other school districts in our state with My Ride K-12 for communication of bus routes and delays. The app has been unable to provide parents with consistent delay information. BCSD is now tracking bus delays for parents using Google documents.

With the first day of school less than one week away, we want to make sure families are aware of the new transportation features that pertain to bus riders. Learn more about My Ride K-12 and the student transportation tag program at www.bcsdschools.net/article/1203059.
