No Syllabus the Week of February 28. Please read this important information!

Due to ISAT this week students will not receive a syllabus in their core classes; there is no homework this week. Here are a few pieces of important information:

  • We are testing on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. It is very important for our students to get a good night sleep, eat breakfast, and get to school on time. You may bring in a healthy snack and water bottle to eat during our break between classes!
  • All late work on Team 6-3 is due on TUESDAY, MARCH 1. No Exceptions. Please check the online gradebook to see if you are missing anything.
  • To celebrate the end of ISATs our team is having a Read-A-Thon and PJ day on Friday, March 4. Bring in some good books, a healthy snack, and one comfort item. Be sure to have your reading log to fill out because our next one is due on Friday, March 11th.
  • PBIS Movie Reward letters need to be signed and returned to your Rdg/LA teacher if you haven't yet.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 3RD TRIMESTER BEGINS ON MONDAY, MARCH 7. OUR TEAM DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY LATE WORK DURING THE 3RD TRIMESTER. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO STAY ORGANIZED AND GET ALL OF YOUR WORK IN ON TIME TO DO WELL FOR OUR FINAL TRIMESTER OF SIXTH GRADE.


 

If you print this and get it signed by a parent I will give you three extra credit points in Math (you need to show it to me by Tuesday 3/1)!
