| As this year is winding down, we wanted
to touch base with you to discuss the 2004-5 school year.
There are a number of things that we would like to set
into motion now to ensure that your child will find
success in their sixth grade school year. |
| To help students to stay organized we
are asking that all students come to
school in August with a Three Ring Binder.
Ideally, it would be a binder that is 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
The binder will also need to have tabs for each of their
subjects: Science, Math, Language Arts and Social
Studies. They can put their writing paper in this binder
eliminating the need for messy wire bound notebooks.
Hopefully, this will also reduce the number of lost or
late assignments. |
| The sixth grade team will hand out assignments that
can be added directly to their binders. In addition to
reducing lost homework this will also allow you to always
know where you can expect to find your students’
assignments. |
| In addition, students will be able to put their
Assignment Book into their binder. With this done, all
student materials will be in one place, the binder. |
| The policy for the school, that began in the
1999-2000 school year is that book bags are not to be
allowed in the classroom. We are trying to make
organization as easy as possible for the students. With
all of their materials in one place, a student would only
need to bring their binder and any text books that are
necessary. (pencils and pens are also needed.) |
| We are looking forward to a productive year and to
helping your students to achieve to their highest
potential. |

| Sincerely, |
| The Sixth Grade Team |
