Understanding Your Class Schedule

Sixth Grade students will be will be scheduled for seven periods of the school day and will be enrolled in four core classes and a combination of the classes listed below. With a student-centered approach, middle school student schedules are created to maximize student learning utilizing a tier intervention system and allocation for specific intervention times to target and meet individual student needs.

Classes on a student’s schedule include the following:

CORE

• Language Arts

• Math

• Science

• Social Studies

ENCORE

• PE/Health (1 semester)

• Business Information Technology/Project Lead The Way/Exploring College and Careers (BIT/PLTW/EXPCC) (6 weeks)

• Art (6 weeks)

• Family and Consumer Science/Exploring College & Careers (FACS/EXPCC) (6 weeks)

EXTENSION – These classes (Language Arts Extension, Social Studies Extension, Math Extension, Science Extension) are an extension of the regular core subject curriculum and are taught by content teachers.

SLT – Student Learning Time will allow students to work independently and provide extra opportunity for the student to seek out additional homework help.

SUCCESS TIME (ST) – This course will allow for extra support and skill development through small group instruction in the form of re-teaching or an enrichment activity that addresses the need for a higher level of academic rigor.

*IEP COURSES - These courses (Resource, Pre-Voc, Social Skills, etc…) will be specific to those students with an IEP, are determined by a case conference committee and scheduled by the Teacher of Record

In addition to the courses listed above, your son/daughter also may choose to take Band or Choir. Band or Choir are year-long courses and are not required. *If either Band or Choir is not selected, the student will be scheduled in a SLT (see above).

Per the Music Department/School policy, students will not be permitted to drop or add choir or band once the semester has started.

Please Note: Students enrolled in Band must either purchase or rent an instrument and are encouraged to participate in the free beginning instrumental classes offered in June. These are held at the high school. Students must obtain a functioning/working instrument before beginning the class. Please contact Mr. Andreatta or Mr. Healton for more information.

All students must submit an online course selection form. Student class schedules will be available for viewing approximately two weeks before school starts.
