Hello!

Welcome parents and students to 8th grade science. I am Mrs. LaCorte (Formely Melillo) and I am excited to partner along with you and your child this school year. We will be having a hands on learning experience that focusses on the experimental design process. This is my third year at Hillcrest and sixth year in education. I have always had a passion for science. It is an honor to be able to hare this and be a part of shaping the next great generation. 

We are so grateful to have access to Chromebooks every day. We will be utilizing these and interactive labs this school year.

If your child ever needs to access DiscoveryED at home, they are able to do so via their portal. 

My weekly lesson plans/assignments and syllabus can be found on Canvas. As a parent, you can link your account to your child's so that you can see what we are doing and what their assignments are. 

I am excited to be a part of your child's education journey!

Below you will find my contact info.
