 6th Grade Newsletter (June 2018)

Dear 6th Grade Families,

As the school year comes to an end, we wanted to keep you updated on all the activities we have scheduled for this month! We also wanted to remind all parents to continue checking Engrade to make sure students are submitting all their work and getting good grades on their tests/quizzes in order to have a strong end to the year! It is important for scholars to remain focused on the growth they should still be making each day. Please continue to stress the importance of staying focused, completing and staying on top of classwork and homework, and finishing strong.

End-of-the-Year Tips for Success

  • Students AND parents should check Engrade regularly to make sure all assignments are submitted
  • Start looking for textbooks that students brought home in the beginning of the year, as well as any books they may have checked out from the school or class  library
  • Continue to monitor student work by checking planners, notebooks, and folders
  • A lot of forms will be going out this month. Please make sure to turn in forms on time.

 Reminders & Suggestions

  • Permission slips and payments for the 6th grade trip to High Exposure are due June 1. Please turn these in as soon as possible.
  • The best way to reach 6th grade teachers is through email (listed in Class to Class section). If you have questions about information  on the newsletter or your scholar’s progress please reach out to us. Engrade is not an efficient way to contact teachers.
  • Please make sure students turn in all textbooks and books borrowed from the library prior to the last week of school. Students that do not turn in books will be placed on a HOLD and will not receive their report cards on the last day of school. Please reach out to the teachers via email if you have any questions or concerns about this.


Sincerely,

6th Grade Team (Acevedo, Breach, Kahan, Nam, Pearsall, Tapada)
