Welcome Sixth Graders!

I hope everyone is having a great summer break! I know everyone will soon be gearing up to return to school so I wanted to post a few reminders.

Classroom Supply Lists

The sixth grade supply list can be found under the forms tab found at the top of the home page. These are the supplies we will use at minimum. We always need extra tissues, glue, loose leaf paper, and band aids.

Upcoming Key Dates To Remember

8/16 - Open House at NLCA 5:00 to 7:00
8/20 - School starts for all students
8/30 - Picture day - Individual shots and classroom
9/03 - No School! Labor Day Holiday
9/25 - Literature Fair at NLCA

Enjoy the rest of your break!

HOMEWORK POLICY

The majority of homework is work not completed in class or assignments to prepare for a test or quiz. Homework will also be assigned for special projects or to practice a newly introduced concept.

Each homework assignment has an important purpose for the student. For this reason, I will notify parents if the assignment is not done or if it is turned in late or incomplete. The student will also be given a "demerit" and possibly a recess detention. Five demerits in a nine week period will result in an in-school detention.

Students are given many opportunities throughout the day to earn "Sticker Charts" that he/she may use to erase a demerit (only after the missing or late assignment is completed and turned in the following day signed by a parent). If not completed and returned as stated, the student will be given a zero and retain the demerit. Sticker Charts may also be used to add 5 points to a test or quiz grade (only after the student uses his/her textbook to correct the test or quiz.)

Demerits are given as consequences for unacceptable behavior. Sticker Charts are given as rewards for good behavior and achievements.
