General Information
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! We are looking forward to an amazing year with your child. Below you will find the practices, procedures and expectations for the sixth grade at Navo Middle School. Please take a moment to read and review some general information with your student.
Parent/Team Conferences
Please contact the team leader to set up a parent conference with the team.
Tutorials
Core teachers will have tutorials at least 1 day per week. Tutorials should be scheduled with the teacher in advance. Mandatory tutorials may be scheduled by teachers when necessary to prepare for reassessments. Parents will be notified of any scheduled mandatory tutorials and students will be required to attend. Please visit each teacher’s website for dates and times of tutorials.
ID Policy
Students are required to wear their student ID at all times. The ID must be visible (i.e. on a lanyard, not clipped to pants pockets). Students must not deface their ID in any way. If the student’s picture is not visible or is defaced, the student will be required to purchase a new ID. It is advised that parents purchase an extra ID for $4.00 for the student to keep in case an ID is lost.
Discipline Policy:
Navo Middle School has a school-wide Discipline Plan in order to empower students, teachers, parents, and administrators in proactive intervention strategies that are consistent and effective. Student detentions may be held before school or after school. Parents will be given notice for these situations and are responsible for providing transportation.
Student discipline will be broken down into two categories: minor infractions (classroom disruption, disrespect, electronic devices without permission, etc.) and major infractions (fighting, endangering others including self, etc.). The following table details discipline for minor infractions (Reference the Navo Middle School Handbook for additional information).
1st Offense
Verbal Warning
2nd Offense
Written Warning, Parent Contact
3rd Offense
Written Warning, Parent Contact & Teacher Detention
4th Offense and any after
Office Referral, Parent Contact
Grades
Formative assessments (daily work, homework, etc.) and activities will not be graded; however, completion of formative assessments and activities will have a direct effect on comprehension and, therefore, summative grades, as well. Students are required to complete all formative assessments; consequences will be given for missing formative work.
Summative assessments (tests, quizzes, projects, bell work, etc.) will be graded. There are two types of summative grades.
o Major Summative – 60%
o Minor Summative – 40%
Keeping Up-to-Date
We offer numerous ways for parents to monitor what their students are learning in their classes and track how their students are progressing.
Parents are strongly encouraged to check the weekly agendas on each teacher’s website or the student’s written agenda and sign up for a Home Access Center (HAC) account to monitor how your students are doing on each graded assignment and see their grades as soon as they are updated. Make sure your contact information is up-to-date in Home Access Center, as this is the information teachers will use when contacting you.
