6th grade is a tremendous time for growth and exploration in preparation for junior high school. This school year is going to be a year of tremendous growth.  Your child will develop more independence along with greater responsibilities in preparation for his or her transition to junior high school.  As partners, I ask that you guide your child’s progress by ensuring that they:

• Attend school daily

• Arrive on time & ready to learn with a positive attitude

• Complete all assignments with care & pride

• Read daily to develop an appreciation for reading & to improve literacy skills

Assignments:

• Assignments comprise 40% of the total grade

• Any class work not completed may be assigned for homework

• Nightly reading is required to meet trimester AR goals

• Late assignments will be accepted for partial credit (cutoff dates vary by subject)

• Students are responsible for keeping track of all assignments and due dates

Assessments:

• Assessments comprise 60% of the total grade
