6th Grade Teams
Upon entry into Middle School, each student is assigned a grade-level team. There are currently three teams per grade level, Team A, B and C. Students are assigned a team for various reasons, but it is important to note that all teams are created equal. Each of our teams are comprised of four core content teachers in English, Social Studies, Math, and Science, plus an additional fifth teacher, who offers additional support to students. The A and B teams are assigned a Special Education Teacher and the C teams are assigned an English as a New Language (ENL) Teacher. These additional teachers co-teach and consult with teachers and support our students in both the classroom and small group settings.
Each team meets once a day as a group during "Team Time" to work collaboratively, sharing information, strategies, and tools necessary to help students be successful at Indian River Middle School. Core content teachers also have a "Common Planning Time" so they can work on lesson plans both individually and collaboratively amongst both their departments and teams.
Parents and students are encouraged to visit their respective team's website to check daily homework assignments, email teachers directly, and access documents and other resources found on teacher's individual webpages! Teacher's individual email addresses are provided below, for your convenience.
