Congrats to another group of DA STEM graduates!

Andrew Barton
Jonathan Busch
Robert Holzman
Grace Jarvis
Zach Jensen
Alexander Kiner
Clare Koll
Anne Louise Kolstad
Preston Le
Gabriel Meier
Ethan Nguyen
Hoang Nguyen
Josephy Shetaye
Isaac Stein
Zach Studdiford
Christina Timm
Walter Van Dyke


The following students are being recognized for excellence in a particular class.  They were chosen by a committee of NCC professors:

College Algebra:  Clare Koll
Trigonometry:  Zach Studdiford
Computer Science:  Isaac Stein
College Physics:  Grace Jarvis
Geology:  Robbie Holzman
Chemistry:  Preston Le
Calculus I:  Gabe Meier
Calculus II:  Joseph Shetaye

Since we are unable to have our DA graduation this year we are sending students their certificates and awards in the mail.  We are sorry that we are not able to honor you in person this year.

May 18, 2020 Dear DA STEM 9th and 10th graders and their parents/guardians, Congratulations on completing spring semester at Normandale in the Dimensions Academy STEM program.  You excelled in your college coursework - during a pandemic and when all instruction was moved online!  Roger and I were very impressed with how hard you worked under these new learning conditions. Additionally, we were thrilled to see how well the Normandale professors adjusted their teaching to online.  We were happy with the level of rigor they were able to maintain.   Grades:   I am pleased to announce that everyone in both cohorts earned As and Bs in their college classes this semester.  Normandale is offering their students the opportunity to take their classes pass/fail but my recommendation for you is to take your grade.  There are 2 benefits to taking your grade:  1.  It is doubtful that 4 years from now colleges will give you credit for ...

Seeing our kids learning!

I had the opportunity to see DA STEM 10th graders use tilt ,  seismic , and gas data from volcanos today.  It was great to see our students thinking as real geologists!   Later on I got to observe our new DA Honors 9 English class where they worked at stations to analyze short stories for illusion, personification, symbolism, irony, conflict, imagery, and characterization.  They did a great job applying these concepts in their small group discussions and digging into the texts! I look forward to more opportunities to see our students learning.
