IT TAKES A VILLAGE

Dear Parents/Guardians:

As a health science school, we take science seriously. All BCMA at Ryan students do an

independent science or engineering investigation, write a manuscript (a research report

on their investigation) and present their manuscript in the format of a poster. The projects

will be graded and all posters will be part of our BCMAR (Science Fair) Science

of 12

Symposium, which will be January 19th, 2018, 4:30 pm – 5:00 pm. Winning projects will

move onto district and for seventh and eighth graders, they will move on to the Science

and Engineering Fair of Houston (SEFH). Every year we are very proud of our students. In

previous years, we’ve had over 15 students place in district and multiple teams that won

awards at SEFH and went on to State.

The STEM research handbook contains important information and is electronically

available on the BCMA at Ryan Science Fair website. BCMA at Ryan and HISD follow SEFH

guidelines. Please go through it carefully with your student(s) and see their health science

teachers for questions.

Students will begin identifying research questions in their health science classes. We highly

encourage you to engage at home with them in order to ensure optimal levels of success

on their projects. Please note: Most of the student’s research will be done outside of the

classroom.

Students will need to register for an account on Scienteer.com in order to actively track

research progress at

https://www.scienteer.com/register/baylorcollegeofmedicineacademyatryan. The

student will need your email address to register. Please help your student get registered by

helping them fill in the form in the above link, then please look in your email for a message

asking to verify consent and verify.

Some class time will be available during the fall for students to work on their independent

research components. It will be the student’s responsibility to prepare and finalize the

independent research project, work outside of school on their investigation (data

collection and observations), and be productive during class time designated for

research. Please find the deadlines below and please note some of them may be subject

to change by your health science teacher. Research projects are due December 4th/5th.

Students are required to submit a manuscript (the poster in paper format), a poster and a

notebook. Pay closest attention to the manuscript and notebook rubrics and all else will

fall into place.

Saturday advisory from 8 am – 10 am at BCM with experts occur on: 10/21, 11/4, 12/2, AND

at BCMA at Ryan on the following days: 10/14, 10/28, 11/11, 11/18 (students will be

notified of changes in advance).

Thank you for doing all you can to make this research process a positive and productive

experience.

DUKE TIP INFORMATION

Greetings,

On Friday, October 13, 2017 during the Elective Period A4, students who qualified for Duke Tip, based on their

2016 7th Grade ELA and Mathematics results were given an application to apply to the Duke Tip program. This

year, the campus will not be financially responsible for any fees, but there is a Reduced Fee Waiver Form

(attached) that can be used by students who participate in the free or reduced lunch program. If this applies, the

Fee for the Duke Tip Assessment will be reduced to $30. Please see attached and follow steps to take advantage

of such.

However, there is another way that students are eligible to qualify for Duke Tip. If your student received the

following Scale Scores on the 2016 5th Grade STAAR of the stated subject matter, they can also qualify for Duke

Tip. Unfortunately, being that we are not a zoned school, our data for student information for 5th Grade cannot

be obtained easily. If you feel your student may qualify, please feel free to request an application and have your

student complete for the opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity.

Qualifying Scores (2015 STAAR, by Subject)

2016 STAAR Assessment

Scale Score Required for Duke Tip

Mathematics Greater Than or Equal to 1833

Reading Greater Than or Equal to 1753

Science Greater Than or Equal to 4577

One way for parents to be able to review the scores is to visit the Texas Assessment Portal, which can be located

at the following web address: https://txparentportal.emetric.net/login . Parents may find the Unique Access Code

in a prior STAAR Report, located in the bottom right in small print. Deans have access to the student’s Unique

Access Code via A4E and can also provide such. Based on the scores obtained, there may be additional students

who qualify.

https://txparentportal.emetric.net/login

of 12

Applications for Duke Tip will be in Mr. Turner’s Mailbox in the Main Office and can be requested at any time.

Regards,

Mr. Turner - 8th Grade Dean

Communication between school and home is vital for student success. Please contact your child’s

teacher or Dean K. Brown at any time.
