Order Science Materials from Home!

Lisa Wachtel, Science and Environmental Education Coordinator

The Science Materials Center is pleased to announce the new MyMMSD online ordering system! The Science Materials Center (SMC) at La Follette High School stores and delivers hundreds of items that support the district's K-8 Science Scope & Sequence.

Research has shown that systemic support for supplying science materials is essential to sustain quality programs over time.  MMSD teachers have been able to replenish their science materials from our SMC since the Full Option Science System curriculum (FOSS) was introduced in 2000.

In 2002 our first online ordering system was introduced. By taking advantage of the new MyMMSD system - a secure website that you can access from home - the ordering of consumable materials, plants and animals is even easier!

Although the web locations for the ordering program are slightly different, the order forms look and work about the same. Most of the changes are behind the scenes in the software program.

Although the new program is more efficient for inventory management, the primary advantage to teachers is the ability to order materials at home.  Easy directions and a video clip are available to help take you step by step through the ordering process.

Teaching & Learning – Science wishes to acknowledge and thank all the MMSD staff who conceptualized and designed this program.

 Thank you for a wonderful addition to our K-8 Science Program.
