Grade 6 Information
This month’s guidance lesson is focused on helping the students determine what learning style they use to learn best. Students will explore different learning styles, understand which fits them best, and identify strategies to meet their academic needs.
We are half way through the marking period. Students should be checking power school and self-advocating by asking their teachers what assignments they might be missing or assignments that they can improve on.
Grade 7 Information
Happy February 7th graders! It's hard to believe that midpoint of the marking period passed on 1/19 which means we are halfway through 7th grade, and 7th graders are half way through middle school already! Wow! Time is moving quickly! As the 2nd trimester comes to a close on 3/3 Mrs. Barber-Devine will continue to meet with students of academic concern. It is also important that students maintain regular attendance at school which has a direct impact on their grades.
