6th Grade News

Hello!

State Testing for 6th graders will be the week of May 6-10 this year. Please make sure that your child brings ear buds/headphones to school for the testing week if they would prefer not to use the school provided headphones. We will be having a new testing schedule that will involve full day testing with breaks/snacks/activities. This will allow us to complete testing in one week rather than the 3-4 weeks that has occurred in the past. If you have any questions, please feel free to email/call.

Greetings!

Please check with your student about supplies. Many students are running out of pencils, paper and other such items. In LA, many students are in need of 2nd spiral notebooks and highlighters.

Thank you!

The SS Ancient China Exam has been cancelled. We will begin Ancient Greece when we return after Spring Break:)

Many exciting things await your student this term! Forest Field Day, Shakespeare play, Tissue paper balloons,etc. Students will rotate their 6th period electives (Health, Art, Spanish) as usual. Please review test retake/late work  policies below. Here’s to a successful last term in 6th grade!

We’ve updated our process for retakes and absences –

Test retakes and tests missed due to absences can still be made up during lunch recess in the library, OR during 6^th period elective on Wednesday or Friday.

Students must communicate with their teacher what day they want to take the test and turn in the old test if retesting.

Mid term grades will be going out by the end of the week. Please check Home Access for missing assignments…

If your student is in Period 4 Language Arts, please be aware that consent forms are needed latest by Friday, January 25. We are lucky to have a student teacher from the University of Oregon, Rachel Brubeck, this term and she will need to have these forms in hand in order to video tape in the classroom. Please find a copy attached below:

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy two weeks off… See you next year!
