GRADE 6 NewsLetter
A little note from the 6th grade team... As the months of school progress please continue to help us support your child in their learning process. This means making sure homework is completed and turned in, supplies are brought to class everyday and are replenished if necessary, grades are checked on [PowerSchool] periodically, and keeping an open line of communication with us; if there is anything you need from us we are here to help! Download our [Flyer App] to keep up with announcements. We hope for a strong end to Quarter One and a push of enthusiasm going into Quarter Two. Always keep [MAP] and other academic goals in mind; we can do this together! -The 6th Grade Team Teachers
