Sixth grade English Language Arts maintains a focus of "Working Smarter, Not Harder." Students are taught the value of planning ahead and learning helpful work ethic. Homework assignments are mostly given in advance so students can plan their work schedule accordingly. Likewise, students are expected to be studying a little each night for weekly quizzes on Fridays.
ELA extra help will be held on Wednesdays from 3:00-4:00pm. Extra help can be scheduled by appointment 48 hours in advance by contacting your child's ELA teacher:
Mairead Orpen or Carrie Anderson
