Welcome to the KY3 WeatherSchool Forecast Contest

Dear Teachers,

Once again I would like to welcome you to the KY3 Weatherschool Forecasting Contest. The entire Storm Team is looking forward to another successful year. The winter so far has been full of surprises and I am sure February will be no different.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of a few very important rules. Remember to write down or print off you user id’s and passwords for your classes. This will go a long way to making things run smooth the first few days. If for any reason school is out (snow day, holiday) you must either log on and enter a forecast for your class or call us and leave a message and we can do that for you.

Meteorology is a great subject that you can use as a tie in to other subjects. Teachers tell us they use the contest in a number of ways from graphing to writing about a favorite type of weather. Math, science and social studies can all be centered around one topic to enhance learning and make school fun. Be creative and let us know how you use the contest to benefit your class. Good luck, we look forward to testing our skills with your class.

Best Wishes,

The KY3 Storm Team
