Science Side-Note
K-12 Science Standards are changing at the national level, the state level, and of course in Hartland Schools. We are working towards implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards. At the state level, they're known as Michigan Science Standards. If you'd like to know more about this new set of science standards, use the following link: www.nextgenscience.org/.
