On the first day of school students should go straight to their homeroom. Students will receive their team placement in the mail, about the third week of August. At that time, additional information and supply lists will be available on our website. Sixth grade teachers will host an open house before school starts. At the open house, locker combinations will be made available and students can tour the building during this time.
Sixth grade consists of three teams: Red, White and Blue. Each team has its own hallway with the classrooms & the team lockers in close proximity to each other. Students will usually work with two or three teachers on the team, but the other teachers on the team will sometimes coordinate activities or combined projects with your class.
