What do 6th Grade Families Need to Know?

Posted by admin on October 30, 2016

This is probably the biggest transition year since dropping your child off at kindergarten, so here are some practical notes…

  • Classes start at 7:55am, school opens at 7:25am, breakfast is available in the cafeteria after 7:30. Students are dismissed at 2:40pm and buses leave at 2:47pm. Students may not be in the school after 2:50pm.
  • Call the school when your child is going to be late or absent, provide a note when he or she returns to school.
  • Lunch is more flexible and provides students more choices on an a la carte menu, which can lead to nutrition concerns and bigger expenses. Lines can be long in the beginning of the year.
  • Your child will have a different teacher for each subject and will have to keep track of assignments for each class.
  • Parent-teacher conferences are generally by invitation only from the school. Contact the school counselor if you want to meet with your child’s teachers.
